UNSPSC 50461762: Canned or jarred puebla avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461762 Canned or jarred Puebla avocados is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable preserved avocado products purchased by state and local food service operations — specifically state institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, and county social service departments. The recent opportunities under this code show little direct demand for canned avocados themselves; instead, the code appears to tag broader food-service procurement solicitations that include dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies. The state and local issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments running supported living centers and state hospitals, county and municipal school districts operating cafeteria and nutrition programs, and county government services departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly as a high-volume buyer of institutional food and consumables, with recent bids for facilities at Lufkin and El Paso. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and a county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners) are also active. The work involves responding to IFBs and IWQs with firm fixed pricing on multi-line food-service commodities, meeting delivery windows of three to seven days, complying with USDA grades and FDA standards, maintaining liability insurance, and satisfying E-Verify and debarment certifications.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs between May and October 2026 for food and consumables supporting state supported living centers, with contract values reaching $1.5 million annually and up to $4.5 million over three-year periods including renewals. The Georgia opportunities include school nutrition bids from Ben Hill County Schools (sealed bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026 at the Burke County Board of Education offices, Waynesboro), and a Gwinnett County informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. These solicitations emphasize broad product categories—canned proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, and condiments—with only occasional explicit reference to preserved fruits or avocado products. The code's nominal scope does not align tightly with the recent opportunities posted under it; vendors pursuing this code should validate whether specific state or local RFPs or RFQs actually list canned avocados as line items before investing in response preparation.
