UNSPSC 50461769: Canned or jarred simmonds avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461769 Canned or jarred simmonds avocados, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities tagged with this code or similar food-product codes show no demand for canned or jarred avocados—recent solicitations focus instead on canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and general grocery items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The single opportunity nominally matching this code (Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food order, posted June 2026) is a broad weekly food procurement that does not itemize avocados as a line item and appears to have been mistagged.

State and local buying under food-product codes in this family runs heavy toward school districts and state health/corrections agencies procuring staple shelf-stable and fresh items in high volume. Recent activity spans Texas (HHSC state hospitals and living centers, TDCJ correctional facilities), Georgia (multiple school districts, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Typical buys include canned vegetables (tomatoes, condiments), fresh produce and eggs, dairy products, proteins, grains, and prepared foods supplied on annual or quarterly contracts with firm fixed pricing, weekly or as-needed delivery to multiple school sites or institutional distribution centers, and awards made to lowest responsive bidders or best-value vendors. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumables statewide for state hospitals and living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, due June 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools soliciting Master Grocery K-12 products for 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 2026). No recent opportunities in this dataset show procurement demand for canned or jarred avocados at state or local level.
