UNSPSC 50441711: Frozen booth 1 avocados

The variety of avocados known as booth 1 avocados that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441711 Frozen booth 1 avocados is a Commodity code that represents a narrow, branded produce item; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve avocados. Instead, state and local procurement offices are using this code to solicit frozen vegetables across multiple food categories—frozen corn, frozen assorted vegetables, frozen potatoes, frozen carrots, and mixed frozen vegetables—supplied to correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and other institutional food service operations. The solicitations reveal that state and local governments buy frozen commodity vegetables in volume (tens of thousands of pounds per order) under firm fixed-price contracts, with delivery to central distribution centers or individual school sites, strict FDA/USDA compliance and shelf-life requirements, and pricing typically per-pound or per-case on an FOB-destination basis. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), school districts (Fairfax County Virginia; Decatur, Georgia; Rockwood Missouri; Savannah-Chatham Georgia; Ben Hill County Georgia; Early County Georgia; Burke County Georgia; Bulloch County Georgia; Dallas ISD Texas), county correctional facilities (Montgomery County Pennsylvania), and individual school boards. The code sees heavy activity from correctional and institutional food service procurement, with school district nutrition programs representing the largest segment of recent solicitations.

The geographic spread is nationwide, with concentrated recent activity in Texas (TDCJ, HHSC, Dallas ISD, and individual school districts), Georgia (multiple school systems and state procurement), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Virginia (Fairfax County), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County), Missouri (Rockwood Schools), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) cafeteria food products procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, approximately 382 line items of frozen vegetables, proteins, and staples, response due May 4, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections frozen vegetables solicitation (ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn, 40,000 pounds, response due July 24, 2026); the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, multi-site delivery to 45 schools, response due April 27, 2026); and multiple school district annual nutrition procurement bids in Georgia with June through July 2026 deadlines. The code is highly active with standing demand, competitive bidding processes, and substantial per-contract volumes, though the mismatch between the code name (frozen booth 1 avocados) and actual procurement scope (generic frozen vegetables) suggests possible miscoding in state procurement systems.
