UNSPSC 50451727: Frozen organic ettinger avocados

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

UNSPSC 50451727 Frozen organic ettinger avocados is a Commodity code that names a specific product variant, but state and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying broad-based food service supplies—including frozen produce, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and ancillary food service items—for school nutrition programs and state operations. The recent solicitation activity shows school districts and state agencies issuing IFBs and RFPs for multi-category food procurement where frozen or fresh avocados may be one line item among hundreds. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District) and state departments (State of Georgia), with a few RFPs issued cooperatively through buying consortia (Douglas County School System operating through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 school districts). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, followed by state facility food service operations. Vendors must meet stringent food safety compliance including HACCP plans, food recall procedures, Buy American requirements, E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000), and USDA commodity and nutrition specifications (whole grain, low sodium, zero trans fat formulations).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with one large opportunity in Texas. Georgia shows the highest recent posting volume: the State of Georgia issued two separate solicitations (fresh produce IFB and food supplies IFB due in May and June 2026), City Schools of Decatur posted an IFB for frozen foods due May 15, 2026, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued a fresh produce bid due April 23, 2026, and Douglas County School System posted two RFPs (fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend; food supply and distribution covering approximately $9 million) due February 18 and March 4, 2026. Outside Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri, St. Louis County) solicited grocery items with over 900 line items due April 29, 2026, and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) posted an RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026. Contract periods typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options up to three additional years. Pricing must remain firm for the contract year, with escalation permitted only on documented cost increases (typically 3% to 5% thresholds) supported by USDA or CPI data, and all delivery charges must be included in unit pricing with no separate fuel surcharges.
