UNSPSC 50451700: Frozen organic avocados

The type of organic vegetable known as organic avocados that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50451700 Frozen organic avocados is a Class code that in practice encompasses the procurement of fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items to support school nutrition programs and state food service operations. State and local jurisdictions soliciting under this code are buying broad meal-support commodity baskets—fresh produce staples (apples, bananas, vegetables, berries, citrus), processed produce items (pre-cut vegetables, fruit cups), frozen entrees and side dishes, dairy products, grains, condiments, and eggs—alongside non-food supplies such as food service disposables, cleaning and sanitation products, and janitorial equipment. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with recent activity from the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System; state-level procurement also appears, with the State of Georgia issuing solicitations for fresh produce and food supplies.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Georgia and Missouri, with significant activity also from Texas. The Early County Board of Education posted an RFP for line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, encompassing approximately 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains, plus approximately 60 non-food and paper cleaning supplies, with domestic sourcing preferences and USDA whole-grain specifications emphasized. The Douglas County School System issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with an estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas and responses due March 4, 2026. The City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items for its School Nutrition Program with sealed bids due May 15, 2026 at 1:30 PM EST through the Bonfire portal. Dallas Independent School District posted an RFP for various food products not available through main commercial bids with a due date of April 2, 2026. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, require firm pricing, include Buy American and HACCP compliance, mandate general liability insurance of $1,000,000 or higher, and allow awards to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
