UNSPSC 50461736: Canned or jarred haas avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461736 Canned or jarred haas avocados, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity—only school districts and state institutions are buying canned vegetables, canned fruits, and related canned food products under adjacent codes in the recent solicitation block, with no opportunities explicitly naming avocado products. When state and local governments procure food products under this code's family and class tiers, they are buying bulk canned and jarred goods—tomatoes, vegetables, fruits, and condiments—for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers, typically in case quantities ranging from dozens to thousands of units per contract. Issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home), with school districts representing the majority of recent issuers.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, with scattered opportunities in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bid closing June 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products including canned items with deliveries to four school locations (due June 15, 2026). The State of Illinois issued an RFQ for quarterly weekly food orders covering brand-specific or equal items (bid closing June 26, 2026). School district food procurements typically run annual cycles aligned to academic years (July through June), emphasize Buy American compliance and nutritional standards including sodium limits, require sealed or electronic bids through portals such as OREGONBUYS or Bonfire, and award on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value. No specific canned-avocado opportunities appear in the block; the code likely sees activity primarily as part of larger multi-category food-supply contracts rather than standalone line items.
