UNSPSC 50451750: Frozen organic melendez avocados

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

UNSPSC 50451750 Frozen organic melendez avocados (Commodity) encompasses shelf-stable and fresh food products sourced by state and local governments for senior services, school nutrition programs, and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy these items in bulk—from individual line items in competitive quotes to large multi-item food contracts—typically through food service distributors rather than direct-source specialty vendors. The issuing bodies include county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). Contracts emphasize compliance with federal nutrition and food-safety standards, domestic sourcing preferences where available, and price-firm awards evaluated on a per-unit cost basis with delivery to institutional locations on F.O.B. Destination terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items across 35 line items due October 19, 2026, delivery to Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia solicited bids for food and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools due June 8, 2026, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. School district procurements in particular require compliance with USDA whole-grain standards, E-Verify verification, and $500,000 general liability insurance. Award timelines stretch to 60 days post-opening, and price escalation requests require USDA or Consumer Price Index documentation to support increases above 3%.
