UNSPSC 50471700: Canned or jarred organic avocados

The type of organic vegetable known as organic avocados that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50471700 Canned or jarred organic avocados is a Class code that addresses preservation and shelf-stable packaging of organic avocado products, but the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code show negligible activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have issued multiple food procurement solicitations during the past four months—all IFBs or IWQs for consumables, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies for state facilities, county services, school nutrition programs, and correctional institutions. None of these solicitations explicitly request canned or jarred organic avocados or avocado products as line items. The recent opportunities focus on bulk institutional food service requirements spanning hundreds of line items across diverse categories where organic avocados, if procured at all, would represent a minor subset if any.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, where state health and human services agencies, county purchasing offices, and public school districts have driven recent solicitations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted three separate food procurement IFBs between May and October 2026 (HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million; HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food products with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables due October 23, 2026). Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County issued comparable food bids for school nutrition and senior services during the same period. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026. The code's nominal commodity does not appear in any of these specifications, suggesting either that state and local procurement offices are mislabeling their food service solicitations or that canned or jarred organic avocados see insufficient demand to generate standalone procurement activity at the state and local level.
