UNSPSC 50421749: Dried marcus avocados

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

UNSPSC 50421749 Dried marcus avocados, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried avocados, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this classification solicit dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—for institutional food service at correctional facilities, schools, and state agencies. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, specifying delivery in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors; and the State of Oregon posted a bid for dried black beans meeting USDA grading standards due August 21, 2026. A broader food-service RFP from the City of Edinburg, Texas (August 2026) sought proteins, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial supplies for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily under local-vendor preference. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments across five geographic areas, with responses extended to May 4, 2026.

Issuing bodies include state correctional departments and purchasing divisions (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas), municipalities (City of Edinburg), and school or institutional food-service programs. Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West—Georgia, Texas, and Oregon show the most recent solicitations—with Illinois representing a secondary market. The code does not reflect a coherent procurement category: the mismatch between the nominal scope (dried avocados) and the actual recent opportunities (dried beans and broader institutional food products) suggests either a classification error in the source data or dormant avocado procurement at the state and local level. Business development professionals should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities posted under this number; the dried-beans activity visible here may trade under different UNSPSC codes more accurately reflecting institutional food procurement.
