UNSPSC 50421730: Dried fuerte avocados

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

UNSPSC 50421730 Dried fuerte avocados is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed produce items procured by state and local jurisdictions, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal activity directly targeting dried avocados. The sourced opportunities instead reflect broader produce procurement spanning fresh fruits and vegetables, dried beans and legumes, groceries for school nutrition and institutional food service, and cafeteria supplies. State and local buyers—school districts, state departments of corrections, state procurement offices, and municipal child care programs—source these items through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs with response windows typically of 30 to 60 days. Issuing bodies include large school systems (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System and Douglas County School System, Georgia; Muscogee County School District, Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing divisions (Georgia, Illinois), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The mix reflects school nutrition as a dominant buyer category, with state corrections and institutional dining as secondary segments.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest—Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), Texas (Edinburg, multiple TDCJ locations), and Missouri (St. Louis County area)—with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections) and mid-Atlantic (Fairfax County, Virginia). Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (response due April 27, 2026) spanning 76 items for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for dried pinto beans (bids due March 20, 2026 and June 19, 2026 in separate procurements) requiring 42,500 to 127,500 pounds in triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items IFB covering over 900 line items with electronic submission by April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (proposals due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. School districts consistently require firm pricing for 12-month periods, weekly or daily deliveries to multiple sites, Buy American Act compliance, USDA or FDA standards certification, and commercial general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million. Set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear inconsistently; Oregon applies a 10 percent combined Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preference.
