UNSPSC 50441768: Frozen semil 43 avocados

The variety of avocados known as semil 43 avocados that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441768 Frozen semil 43 avocados, a Commodity code, does not reflect what state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification in recent solicitations. The code shows no alignment with the recent opportunities tagged to it—Oregon and other jurisdictions are soliciting frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen assorted vegetables, and fresh produce, along with comprehensive grocery and food service contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and state agencies, but frozen avocados do not appear in any of the recent postings. The UNSPSC taxonomy and current procurement activity diverge significantly, suggesting either a classification mismatch in the underlying database or abandonment of this specific commodity line by state and local buyers.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Early County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District), counties (Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Bulloch County), cities (Decatur, Bridgeport), and regional buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs and institutional food service (correctional facilities, state health agencies) as the dominant buyers. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026) and frozen potato products (120,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026) at historical pricing around $0.30–$0.50 per pound; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026); the Bridgeport Board of Education IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026); and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus distribution centers (due April 27, 2026). All opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, USDA grade standards, liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence, firm pricing typically locked for 30–365 days post-award, and quarterly or semi-annual price adjustment mechanisms tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data when manufacturers demonstrate 5 percent or greater increases.
