UNSPSC 50441779: Frozen wurtz avocados

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

UNSPSC 50441779 Frozen wurtz avocados is a Commodity code that sees minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally specifies a niche frozen-avocado product, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span fresh and frozen vegetables, grocery staples, frozen entrees, proteins, dairy, and miscellaneous food service items across institutional and school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's narrow specification and the broad scope of food-service commodities being solicited suggests either miscoding of opportunities at the posting stage or use of this code as a catch-all within food-procurement families. State and local issuing bodies buying under this code include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county and municipal school districts, county correctional facilities, and independent school systems. Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Connecticut, with state agencies and school districts conducting the majority of solicitations.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting frozen corn (40,000 pounds) and frozen potato products (120,000 pounds total) through ITBdue July 24, 2026, with five percent Oregon preferences applying and historical reference pricing at $0.498 per pound (corn) and $0.3811 per pound (potatoes); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting supplemental food and consumables statewide to supply state hospitals and supported living centers, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and Fairfax County Public Schools seeking a Master Grocery K-12 contract for supply to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries, requiring vendors to bid minimum 76 items from the school-delivery section. Across all posted opportunities, Buy American provisions dominate school nutrition procurements, HACCP certification is standard, firm pricing for 30 to 365 days post-award is typical, and general liability insurance minimums range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence. The code sees steady activity but lacks concentration; no single buyer or geographic region dominates, and the breadth of food categories actually being solicited suggests vendors should monitor individual RFP and IFB notices rather than rely on this code alone for category alignment.
