UNSPSC 50421763: Dried reed avocados

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

UNSPSC 50421763 Dried reed avocados is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses institutional bulk food procurement for state agencies, correctional facilities, school districts, and child care programs — though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity aligned with dried reed avocados specifically. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black), which serve as protein staples in institutional meal programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and state child care and nutrition programs are the primary buyers, soliciting dried beans in quantities ranging from 880 bags to 42,500 pounds. The scope of work under these opportunities spans dried-bean procurement with specifications for grade standards (USDA No. 2 or better), triple-cleaning to remove debris and foreign material, moisture-content limits, and delivery to institutional distribution centers or feeding sites. Issuing bodies enforce strict compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards, require all-inclusive pricing with freight and fuel charges embedded, and specify packaging formats (palletization, bag counts) and delivery schedules (daily, weekly, or quarterly).

Recent activity clusters in Oregon and Georgia, with secondary solicitations in Texas and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% Oregon-origin preference (5% for Oregon manufacturing, 5% for Oregon headquarters), palletized FOB destination to Salem, and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound; the Georgia Department of Corrections Industries solicited 880-bag increments of kidney beans due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification compliance requirements; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products including beans and staples across five geographic distribution points, with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21), single-award-per-line-item basis, and a one-year initial term through August 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. The code shows little relevant recent activity for dried reed avocados as named; procurement here targets commodity dried beans for institutional food service.
