UNSPSC 50461758: Canned or jarred peterson avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461758 Canned or jarred Peterson avocados is a Commodity code that in practice sees little alignment with actual state and local purchasing activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no procurement of avocados—canned, jarred, or fresh—or any avocado-derived products. Instead, the tagged solicitations span broad consumable food and food-service supply purchases for state supported living centers, county senior services, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health agencies. The work being solicited includes proteins, frozen vegetables, canned and fresh produce, dairy, bakery items, condiments, and food-service supplies such as containers, napkins, and serving equipment. Issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and a state corrections agency (Oregon Department of Corrections). The code appears to serve as a catch-all tag for produce-category procurements but does not reflect the actual commodity mix being bought.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables and food-service supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services (response due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent (response due June 19, 2026, prior opportunity). The code shows no recent solicitation activity specifically for canned or jarred avocados or avocado products, signaling limited relevance for vendors focused on that commodity line.
