UNSPSC 50441778: Frozen waldin avocados

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

UNSPSC 50441778 Frozen waldin avocados is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not match recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly solicit frozen vegetables—carrots, corn, mixed vegetables, assorted blends—and broader food service supplies for correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), state universities and school districts (Georgia, Missouri, Illinois), county correctional facilities (Pennsylvania, Montgomery County), municipal school systems (Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District), and special districts (Early County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Ben Hill County Schools). Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple ITB solicitations for frozen vegetables in recent months. Recent representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn due July 24, 2026, at $0.498 per pound (historical reference), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million annually under NIGP food service codes.

Activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest—Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas (TDCJ and HHSC), Pennsylvania (county facility), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Missouri (school districts)—with sporadic solicitations in Illinois and Connecticut. The code shows active procurement volume but fundamental misalignment between its stated commodity (Hass or waldin avocados, frozen) and what state and local buyers actually tag: institutional frozen vegetables, comprehensive food service bundles, and produce. Vendors should treat the code as a false signal and verify actual commodity demand through specification review before pursuing; the category may reflect legacy coding or data-entry error rather than genuine market opportunity in avocados.
