UNSPSC 50461757: Canned or jarred nesbitt avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461757 Canned or jarred Nesbitt avocados, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct recent activity in state and local procurement. The code names a specific branded product — canned or jarred avocados under the Nesbitt brand name or equivalent — yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting this item. State and local food service buyers do purchase canned and jarred produce across school districts, corrections facilities, state health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes, but recent solicitations in the dataset target broader categories such as canned tomatoes, fresh produce, grocery staples, and general food supplies rather than specialty canned avocado products. The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement span state departments (Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia), county school systems (Muscogee, Douglas, Burke, Liberty, Savannah-Chatham, Ben Hill, Fairfax, Rockwood), state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), and health and human services agencies (Texas), typically bundling canned vegetables and fruits into larger line-item food service contracts rather than as standalone commodities.

Geographic spread of recent food procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs representing the largest volume of recent solicitations across all states named. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (June 2026, responses due July 13) for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers, which encompasses canned goods and food service supplies; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (March 2026, responses due April 6); and multiple school district grocery and produce bids from Douglas County (RFP for food supply and distribution, February 2026), Ben Hill County Schools (June 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools (April 2026), all requesting sealed bids on broad food line items with firm fixed pricing. The code shows little recent targeted activity for the specific Nesbitt avocado product, suggesting either low demand for this branded specialty item in state and local food service or misclassification of opportunities in the dataset. Business development pursuit under this code would likely depend on establishing broader food service distribution relationships with institutional buyers rather than securing standalone canned avocado buys.
