UNSPSC 50471706: Canned or jarred organic beta avocados

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

UNSPSC 50471706 Canned or jarred organic beta avocados is a Commodity code that covers specialty canned and jarred produce items, though recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code shows little direct relevance to the nominal product scope; state and local buying in this category concentrates instead on broader canned and jarred food products including tomatoes, produce staples, and general food service supplies for institutional feeding programs. The issuing bodies soliciting food procurement across this product family are school districts (appearing most frequently), state correctional and health and human services facilities, state veterans homes, and county boards of education. Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with the highest recent activity in Georgia school districts and Texas state health and human services facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical reference value of $1.5 million and a response deadline of July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' February 2026 ITB S2910000015837 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with an eight-truckload requirement and February 9, 2026 closing; and Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens across the county with a minimum of 76 items required from the school delivery section and April 27, 2026 deadline.

State and local procurement under canned and jarred product codes typically emphasizes compliance with Buy American Act provisions (domestic agricultural components or processing requirements of 51 percent or greater), USDA grading standards, nutritional specifications including sodium and whole-grain requirements, and HACCP food safety plans. Pricing structures vary—some districts require firm fixed pricing for the full contract term, while others permit midterm adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices or Consumer Price Index changes when documented cost increases exceed defined thresholds (commonly 5 percent). Vendors must carry substantial general liability insurance (typically $1 million to $2 million per occurrence), maintain shelf-life minimums (commonly 12 months), and meet specific packaging, labeling, and delivery windows. School districts dominate the volume and frequency of solicitations, with contracts typically running July 1 through June 30 for academic year alignment, renewable for one to four additional one-year terms at the district's discretion. State facilities (correctional, health and human services, veterans homes) issue fewer but larger-volume individual line-item procurements. Set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, or local vendors appear rarely in the recent opportunity set, indicating open competitive bidding across most jurisdictions.
