UNSPSC 50461751: Canned or jarred meya p avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461751 Canned or jarred meat and avocados (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned and jarred protein and vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — state supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and county senior services. The code encompasses canned tomatoes, canned proteins, and related canned or jarred foods used in mass feeding operations. Recent solicitations show this is a high-activity code driven by institutional demand rather than retail or consumer channels. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). State departments dominate, particularly in Texas, though county governments and school districts also solicit regularly under this code.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods including canned proteins and prepared items at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned proteins, soups, and vegetables for senior services (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting bids for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, USDA Grade B or better, with delivery to Salem and a previous purchase at $13.75 per case (due June 19, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas (extended due date May 4, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools seeking sealed bids for food products across multiple categories with delivery to four school locations (due June 15, 2026). Bid response dates typically fall within 7 to 14 days of posting. F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid and included is standard. Vendors must provide references, proof of specification conformance, product samples on request, and compliance certifications including E-Verify and debarment status.
