UNSPSC 50471702: Canned or jarred organic arue avocados

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

UNSPSC 50471702 Canned or jarred organic avocados (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this code. Recent opportunities show state agencies, county governments, and school districts procuring broad categories of shelf-stable food products—canned vegetables, proteins, fruits, condiments, and food service supplies—for institutional food service operations including state supported living centers, state hospitals, corrections facilities, senior services centers, and school nutrition programs. The code's nominal focus on canned organic avocados is not borne out in the recent solicitations; instead, buyers are requesting hundreds of line items across multiple food categories, with canned tomatoes, canned proteins, frozen vegetables, grains, dairy, and generic prepared foods dominating actual procurement activity. Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state supported living centers and hospitals), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller), Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia—a mix of state health and corrections agencies, counties, and school districts all sourcing institutional food service supplies.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years; HHS0017449, prior-period value $1.5 million; HHS0018082, posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026), all requesting responses on 20 to 210 line items of mixed prepared and shelf-stable foods with delivery to state facilities. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) for distribution across five geographic warehouse areas. Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, June 19, 2026, with a prior-purchase benchmark of $13.75 per case). Gwinnett County sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each conducted food service bids encompassing nearly 400 line items for FY 2026–27 school nutrition programs. The State of Illinois solicited weekly food supply fulfillment for the July-September quarter (FY-27 IVHQ, June 26, 2026). Activity in this code does not isolate organic avocado procurement; the category appears misaligned with actual state and local buying patterns in institutional food service.
