UNSPSC 50421758: Dried peterson avocados

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

UNSPSC 50421758 Dried peterson avocados is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code is narrowly specific to a single dried avocado variety, yet the recent opportunities in the source are tagged to it encompasses school nutrition programs, correctional facility food service, and child care meal programs that are buying broadly defined dried beans, fresh produce, and general grocery items—not dried avocados. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate solicitations in March and June 2026 for dried pinto and red beans (not avocados), totaling roughly 170,000 pounds across multiple deliveries; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products spanning proteins, grains, and condiments; and multiple school districts from Texas to Georgia posted RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, eggs, and master grocery supplies. None of these procurements reference avocados of any kind, much less dried peterson avocados.

The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that dried peterson avocados occupy a negligible niche within state and local food procurement. School districts, corrections agencies, and child nutrition programs—the primary institutional buyers visible in this code's recent opportunities—source their dried goods from commodity suppliers offering beans, grains, and staple proteins rather than specialty dried fruit items. If pursuing vendors in this space, focus instead on the broader dried-goods and institutional-grocery categories where actual state and local buying activity is concentrated: UNSPSC codes covering dried beans, general food supplies, and commodity produce would better align with demonstrated procurement patterns in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia.
