UNSPSC 50461732: Canned or jarred gossman avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461732 Canned or jarred gossman avocados is a Commodity code tracking a niche product with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly for this item; instead, the code appears tagged on broad food-service procurements where canned avocado products may be one line item among hundreds in larger grocery or produce buys. State and local governments purchasing under this code are predominantly school districts and state institutional facilities—corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans homes—that source food through master grocery contracts and consolidated food-service tenders. The issuing bodies span multiple states and jurisdictions: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state hospitals and supported living centers), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and a dozen school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. These entities typically consolidate food purchasing into annual or multi-year term contracts covering hundreds of line items with firm, fixed pricing and quarterly or semi-annual price adjustments tied to published indices such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index.

Recent activity shows food procurement is concentrated in school districts and state institutional vendors across the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with the largest contracts serving Texas and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-goods buys (notably tomato paste and canned tomatoes), which apply Oregon-processor and resident-bidder preferences; and multi-school district food tenders such as Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (due June 15, 2026), both structured as fixed-price contracts with quarterly or semi-annual price redetermination. The code itself shows limited standalone demand—canned avocado is a minor commodity line in larger consolidated tenders rather than a primary procurement driver—making this a watch rather than pursue opportunity unless your firm is already positioned as a specialty-food line supplier to institutional food-service distributors.
