UNSPSC 50461705: Canned or jarred bernecker avocados

The variety of avocados known as bernecker avocados that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461705 Canned or jarred Bernecker avocados, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows this specific item does not appear in current solicitations. State and local governments buy canned and jarred produce items as components of broader food service contracts, particularly for school nutrition programs, state institutional facilities, and detention centers that procure multiple food categories simultaneously under consolidated food service RFQs and IFBs. The issuing bodies soliciting under related canned-produce codes span school districts (Ben Hill County 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, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), state departments (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Work solicited under adjacent canned-goods codes includes canned tomato products (Oregon Department of Corrections, 7,616 cases at $14.30 per case historical pricing), supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, up to $4.5 million potential value), and comprehensive grocery and food service contracts spanning fresh, frozen, and prepared items alongside canned goods.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with the heaviest volume in school nutrition procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026, $1.5 million historical annual value, IFB with firm fixed unit-rate pricing), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026, with 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences), and multiple school district solicitations such as Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across all categories (due June 15, 2026, Buy American Act compliance required) and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens). Canned avocado products, as a specialty ingredient line, would appear within these multi-category procurements rather than as standalone items, and current market conditions show limited standalone solicitation activity for this specific commodity.
