UNSPSC 50431750: Dried organic melendez avocados

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

UNSPSC 50431750 Dried organic melendez avocados is a Commodity code, but state and local governments are not buying avocados under it — recent opportunities show that the code is being used to solicit dried beans, institutional food supplies, and cafeteria products for correctional facilities, school food programs, and state agencies. The work being solicited includes bulk dried pinto beans, kidney beans, and black beans for institutional meal preparation; complete cafeteria supply packages for correctional-system dining; and food, beverage, and nonfood items for child and adult care meal programs. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Oregon, Georgia, Texas), state purchasing offices acting on behalf of criminal justice systems, city governments running child nutrition programs, and state agencies procuring for institutional use. Specifications consistently require USDA grading compliance, triple-cleaning and contaminant thresholds for dried beans, palletization on standard wooden pallets, FOB destination delivery, and certifications demonstrating food-safety and manufacturing-practice compliance.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with historical pricing at $0.493 per pound and a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing and strict specification-sheet formatting requirements. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026, FOB destination to six TDCJ distribution points, and awards made by line item to best-value bidders. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted an RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items) for 400 children daily with a Texas local-vendor preference and evaluation criteria weighting cost at 30%, qualifications at 25%, technical approach at 25%, and menu quality at 20%. The State of Oregon and State of Illinois also posted institutional food procurements in the June–August 2026 window.
