UNSPSC 50461760: Canned or jarred pinkerton avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461760 Canned or jarred pinkerton avocados, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable avocado products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show the code is used to tag broad food-service requests that include canned and jarred produce items alongside dozens of other food categories—the code does not appear to describe a standalone product line being actively solicited in isolation. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies operating institutional facilities (state hospitals, state supported living centers) and school districts, with some county and municipal participation. Work centers on food-service supply contracts for cafeterias, canteens, and on-campus dining at public institutions, with delivery within seven days of order receipt a standard requirement and F.O.B. Destination pricing the norm.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary recent solicitations from Oregon and Illinois. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods supporting state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso; the Lufkin solicitation (HHS0018082, IFB, due October 23, 2026) encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies for fiscal year 2027 operations. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia released a comprehensive food bid covering fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable produce (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections procured approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, IFB, due June 19, 2026) with a 5 percent Oregon-resident bidder preference and a prior purchase at $13.75 per case. The code shows little activity as a standalone avocado procurement; the recent opportunities tagged under it are aggregated food-service contracts where canned or jarred avocados represent one line item among hundreds, if present at all.
