UNSPSC 50441734: Frozen hall avocados

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

UNSPSC 50441734 Frozen hall avocados (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity; the code appears unrelated to the bulk frozen vegetable and grocery procurement that dominates the recent opportunities in this product family.

State and local governments procure heavily under the broader frozen-vegetable and institutional food-supply categories that encompass UNSPSC 50441734's nominal scope, but recent solicitations are tagged instead to frozen-corn, frozen-potato, frozen-mixed-vegetable, and general grocery codes. The recent opportunities reflect procurement by departments of corrections, school districts, health and human services agencies, and county facilities buying frozen vegetables, fresh produce, meats, dairy, and ancillary food-service supplies in bulk for cafeteria and institutional nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia, and county correctional facilities in Pennsylvania. These agencies typically solicit through ITB (Invitation to Bid), IFB (Invitation for Bid), and RFP (Request for Proposal), with response deadlines typically 30 to 60 days from posting. Frozen vegetables—carrots, corn, mixed assortments, and specialty blends—command per-unit pricing in the $0.40 to $0.67 per-pound range based on historical awards cited in the source.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Oregon (multiple Department of Corrections solicitations), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC, school districts), Georgia (school districts in Bulloch, Burke, Douglas, and Decatur counties), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Pennsylvania (Montgomery County). Oregon and Texas dominate the recent pipeline. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for 40,000 pounds of frozen corn (ITB S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026) with delivery to Salem and a $0.498 per-pound reference price from the prior award; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years); and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The category shows sustained institutional demand but no recent award-level visibility specifically for whole frozen avocados as a standalone commodity in the state and local pipeline.
