UNSPSC 50461781: Canned or jarred ziu avocados

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

UNSPSC 50461781 Canned or jarred zia avocados is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned and jarred food products under this code to supply institutional food service operations—primarily state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The solicitations show that state and local buyers typically acquire shelf-stable food items in case or bulk quantities for on-campus canteen operations, cafeteria service, and kitchen stocking, often specifying USDA grade compliance, minimum shelf-life requirements, and delivery within days of order placement. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission for state supported living centers), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia for senior services), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Texas agencies—particularly the Health and Human Services Commission procuring for state supported living centers and the Department of Criminal Justice—appear most frequently in recent activity.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, for consumable foods including prepared items and supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; a companion IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products serving multiple HHSC facilities statewide with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million and bids due July 13, 2026.
