UNSPSC 50461743: Canned or jarred leona linda avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461743 Canned or jarred leona linda avocados is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food products procured to supply institutional food service operations — state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and state hospitals. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state procurement offices contracting on behalf of multiple consuming agencies. Recent solicitations show Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all active under this code or closely related food-procurement frameworks within the past four months. The work involves competitive bidding (IFB, RFQ, RFP, informal written quotes) for case quantities of canned and jarred products, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and consumable food-service supplies, with vendors typically required to meet USDA grade standards, deliver within 7 to 30 days of order, maintain liability insurance, and provide references demonstrating similar-scope performance.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services issued multiple concurrent IFBs in 2026 — HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026), and HHS0016792V2 (statewide supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and state supported living centers, bid response deadline March 19, 2026, with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years) — while the Texas Comptroller's office solicited cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026 after extension). Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County each posted food bids (Ben Hill due June 15, 2026 under IFB #26271; Burke County due June 8, 2026 for opening with award by June 16; Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato procurement (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, 7,616 cases, with Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-resident bidder preferences of 5 percent). Illinois issued a quarterly weekly food order (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). School nutrition programs typically require Buy American certification, HACCP plans, and pricing locked for 30 days with subsequent adjustments permitted quarterly or semi-annually tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data. Institutional food-service contracts commonly include options to extend or renew, and awards frequently go to single or multiple vendors per line item based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value.
