UNSPSC 50461700: Canned or jarred avocados

The type of vegetable known as avocados that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461700 Canned or jarred avocados is a Class code representing a narrow product line that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service operations, particularly school districts and correctional and human services facilities. Recent solicitations show the code is used primarily by school nutrition programs and state agencies procuring bulk food supplies, though the opportunities cited in the source diverge significantly from avocados specifically—they request tomato products, fresh produce, eggs, and diverse grocery items instead. The issuing-body mix reflects typical state and local food procurement: school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia) appear most frequently, joined by state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems across multiple states.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois based on posted opportunities from June through February 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, and 393 under a prior-period value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST, with previous purchase at $13.75 per case), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (sealed bids due April 27, 2026, covering delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with minimum 76-item responsiveness requirement). School district solicitations typically span 200 to 900+ line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods with firm fixed pricing for annual terms plus renewal options, while state facilities focus on supplemental items or specific commodity categories. The code appears underutilized for its nominal scope—avocado-specific procurement is not evident in recent activity, suggesting either categorization misalignment or minimal standalone avocado purchasing by state and local buyers.
