UNSPSC 50451731: Frozen organic gorham avocados

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

UNSPSC 50451731 Frozen organic gorham avocados is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent solicitations tagged under it show no purchasing activity for frozen organic avocados. Instead, the code has been applied to broad food service procurement by state and local education agencies—school districts and state purchasing offices issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, eggs, dairy, meats, and related meal-service supplies. The mismatch between the code's narrow name and the actual scope of recent work suggests either miscoding on the solicitation side or that this Commodity code serves as a catch-all for school nutrition procurement more broadly. State and local governments are buying comprehensive food service inputs to support the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and general school nutrition operations across districts and state facilities. Issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, Douglas County), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 districts in Georgia).

Recent procurement activity is concentrated in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative solicitations include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026); the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual expenditure (proposals due February 18, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services procurement for over 900 line items of grocery items via NUTRIKIDS electronic bid submission by April 29, 2026; Dallas ISD RFP JC250079 for various food products for the 2026–2027 school year due April 2, 2026; and City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026 with sealed submission through Bonfire or mail. All recent opportunities are structured as firm-price, line-item or lot-based awards with Buy American compliance, HACCP and food safety documentation, general liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, E-Verify authorization, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed schedules. Contract periods typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options up to three or four additional one-year terms.
