UNSPSC 50441700: Frozen avocados

The type of vegetable known as avocados that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441700 Frozen avocados, a Class code, does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, and assorted frozen vegetable products—none of which are avocados. The code's nominal scope (frozen avocados) appears misaligned with what purchasing offices are actually buying and how they are tagging opportunities in procurement systems.

The mismatch is pervasive across a geographically dispersed set of issuing bodies. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission have posted multiple frozen vegetable solicitations (corn, potatoes, carrots, mixed blends, assorted varieties) under this code in recent months. State education systems—including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri)—have used the code to solicit comprehensive grocery procurements that include frozen vegetables as line items within larger food service bids. Correctional facilities in Montgomery County (Pennsylvania) and school nutrition programs in Georgia and Missouri likewise show frozen vegetable purchases tagged to this code. The geographic concentration spans the South and Midwest, with Oregon and Texas representing the most active recent posters. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017451 for 40,000 pounds of frozen corn (due July 24, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including frozen vegetables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026). Because the code's nominal definition (frozen avocados) does not match the actual procurement activity being tagged to it, business development professionals should treat this code as unreliable for targeting frozen avocado opportunities and should instead monitor commodity-specific frozen vegetable codes or verify tagging accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this classification.
