UNSPSC 50461777: Canned or jarred wagner avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461777 Canned or jarred Wagner avocados, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged with this code show no specific demand for Wagner-brand avocados or avocado products; instead, state and local governments are soliciting general food supply contracts that span dozens or hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and consumable supplies. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in the procurement systems of issuing bodies, creating a signal-to-noise mismatch between the nominal commodity and the work actually being bought. State and local buyers—school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes—are using food procurement processes that combine produce, proteins, frozen items, dairy, breads, condiments, and consumable supplies into consolidated RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs where individual line items or narrow product families are rarely isolated for separate solicitation.

Issuing bodies pursuing consolidated food procurement include school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), state health and human services commissions in Texas and Oregon, state departments of corrections in Oregon, state veterans' homes in Illinois, and county school nutrition programs. Opportunities cluster heavily in school nutrition procurement for the 2026-2027 school year starting July 1, 2026, with representative solicitations including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 (IFB, July 13, 2026 due date) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical annual value of $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (June 15, 2026 due date) for comprehensive school nutrition procurement across four schools; Burke County Public Schools' IFB for nearly 400 line items (June 5, 2026 due date); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (April 27, 2026 due date) supplying 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Secondary activity includes produce-specific and specialty-item procurements from Oregon Department of Corrections (canned tomatoes at 7,616 cases, tomato paste at 1,904 cases) and Georgia school districts (Muscogee County ITB for fresh produce, Douglas County RFP for produce and eggs under cooperative purchasing). The code shows highest recent activity in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with additional opportunities in Illinois. No recent demand signals specifically name avocado products or brands, and pursuing this code as written would require reframing toward general consolidated food supply contracts where avocados—if relevant at all—would be one of dozens of competing line items.
