UNSPSC 50461748: Canned or jarred lula macarthur avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461748 Canned or jarred lula macarthur avocados, a Commodity code, shows limited direct match to the recent state and local solicitations on file. While the code nominally specifies a single specialty produce item, recent opportunities tagged under this and related food-procurement codes predominantly cover broad food-service categories—fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, grains, condiments, prepared entrees, and consumable supplies—solicited by school districts, state correctional facilities, state health and human services departments, and state institutions. The actual buying pattern reflects master grocery contracts, school nutrition programs, and institutional food service supply rather than specialized preserved-avocado procurement. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with frequent participation from state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and state-supported living centers. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts, state purchasing), Texas (HHSC and DSHS statewide contracts), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (school districts), and Illinois (state veterans homes), with scattered activity in Virginia and other states.

Recent representative opportunities under this code's broader food-procurement family 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, historical value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case), Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid covering fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies (due June 15, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract for supply to 45 schools and distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026, IFB structure), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in a cooperative buying structure (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend $5.5 million combined). All contracts emphasize firm fixed pricing for the initial term, Buy American compliance, USDA standards, multiple-vendor award structures on a line-item basis, and renewal options typically extending two to four years. No recent solicitation explicitly targets canned or jarred avocados as a standalone line item; the code's actual procurement activity reflects broad institutional food-service supply under consolidated purchasing vehicles.
