UNSPSC 50421764: Dried rue avocados

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

UNSPSC 50421764 Dried rue avocados, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity among state and local buyers. The code nominally refers to a specific dried produce item, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect dried avocado procurement. Instead, the tagged solicitations span broad food-service categories—school nutrition programs, correctional-facility meal service, and child-care food programs—that encompass proteins, dairy, grains, fresh produce, and staple grocery items rather than specialty dried fruit. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the diverse food procurement actually posted suggests either miscoding in state and local systems or inconsistent application of UNSPSC taxonomy at the posting stage. The issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), a city municipal child-care program (City of Edinburg, Texas), and a regional buying cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois.

The recent opportunities themselves—posted from January through July 2026—reflect institutional food-service supply chains for high-volume meal programs rather than specialty dried produce. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for dried pinto and red beans in March and June 2026, responses due March 20, 2026 and June 19, 2026, representing the closest alignment to the code's dried-goods framing. School districts across Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri solicited fresh produce, eggs, and master grocery contracts under RFPs and IFBs in February through June 2026, with response dates ranging from February 18 to May 27, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items (proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, canned and fresh vegetables, and fruits) with a response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal supplies on July 16, 2026, due August 4, 2026, covering beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood kitchen items. These solicitations indicate institutional buyers are seeking full-service food-supply vendors and distributors rather than specialty dried-fruit suppliers, and the code itself does not appear to drive targeted procurement activity in state and local markets.
