UNSPSC 50421716: Dried brooks 1978 avocados

The variety of avocados known as brooks 1978 avocados that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421716 Dried brooks 1978 avocados (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal code title and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for avocados or avocado products; instead, the tagged opportunities cover dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), cafeteria and institutional food products, and child and adult care food program supplies. State and local governments using this code designation are soliciting bulk institutional food items for correctional facilities, state agencies, schools, and meal programs — but the actual products being purchased are legumes, prepared entrees, proteins, and general foodservice supplies, not the specific commodity the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments and purchasing divisions (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (State of Georgia, State of Oregon, State of Illinois), and municipal or nonprofit entities managing meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas; Boys & Girls Club). This suggests the code may be misapplied in the procurement systems of participating jurisdictions or that the code definition itself is outdated relative to current classification practices.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 request for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bid due June 19, 2026) with a 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or headquartered vendors; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's extended IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026 after addendum extension); the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for child and adult care food program supplies serving 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051; and Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026). The code as currently deployed appears to capture commodity food procurement for institutional consumption rather than serving as a reliable taxonomy for avocado products; firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify actual commodity scope with the issuing body rather than relying on the code name alone.
