UNSPSC 50461771: Canned or jarred taylor avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461771 Canned or jarred taylor avocados is a Commodity code covering preserved avocado products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service programs. Recent state and local solicitations show this code appearing in broader food supply RFPs and IFBs where school districts, state health agencies, and correctional facilities bid on canned and preserved produce items as components of larger quarterly or annual grocery contracts. The issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high school systems), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and county boards of education, with school nutrition programs dominating the recent activity. Work under this code consists of supplying institutions with shelf-stable canned or jarred vegetables and prepared foods to support cafeteria operations, meal preparation, and institutional food service across multiple delivery locations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home Quincy), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (Food and Consumable products for HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million and estimated annual spending), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for School Nutrition Food Bid (sealed bids due June 15, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance and serving four schools), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (bids due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum 76 items from the school delivery section and serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with July 1, 2026 start). Most school district solicitations run annual cycles aligned to July fiscal year starts, with contract terms of one year plus renewal options and firm fixed pricing requirements. No recent opportunities in this source directly specify canned avocados as a line-item focus; the code appears to tag broader preserved-produce procurement categories where such products are incidental components rather than primary targets.
