UNSPSC 50421748: Dried lula macarthur avocados

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

UNSPSC 50421748 Dried lula macarthur avocados, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried lula macarthur avocados. Instead, state and local jurisdictions are actively procuring dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans — in bulk quantities for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and CACFP meal programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg are soliciting dried-bean products in hundred-thousand-pound volumes for central-kitchen distribution and inmate or child meal preparation. The scope of work under this code classification spans specifications-driven commodity procurement for food-service institutions: bidders must meet USDA grading standards, demonstrate triple-cleaning or equivalent contaminant-removal compliance, certify food-safety and Good Manufacturing Practice adherence, provide palletization and FOB-destination delivery, and price freight and all ancillary charges on an all-inclusive basis.

Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of corrections and agriculture-related state agencies, supported by city governments and school-district food-service operations. Oregon and Georgia dominate the recent activity, with solicitations from the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) and Georgia Correctional Industries and Georgia's state food-supplies procurement; Texas and Illinois also show institutional food-service demand through TDCJ and state weekly food orders. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bid due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% Oregon-source and Oregon-processing preference, FOB delivery to Salem within 45 days, and a historical price benchmark of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (bid due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-compliance requirements; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products including dried-bean items across five geographic distribution points, extended to May 4, 2026, with single-award-per-line-item structure and optional one-year renewals through August 2029. A local-vendor preference applies in Texas under Government Code Section 271.9051 and in Oregon under state purchasing rules.
