UNSPSC 50471712: Canned or jarred organic booth 3 avocados

The variety of organic avocados known as organic booth 3 avocados that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50471712 Canned or jarred organic booth 3 avocados is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not reflect the actual purchasing scope being solicited under this tag. The code nominally describes a single organic produce item—canned or jarred avocados—yet the recent opportunities posted under or near this code cover broad consumable food procurement for institutional food service across state health departments, corrections systems, school districts, and human services facilities. The work being bought is institutional meal supply: cafeteria and canteen products including proteins, frozen specialty foods, dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, condiments, beverages, and food service consumables (containers, napkins, trays, gloves, foil sheets). Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts, State of Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and county social services (Gwinnett Senior Services). The mix skews toward state-level procurement offices managing distributed facility networks and school nutrition programs, with schools appearing as repeat buyers across multiple states.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (35 line items, quotes due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, previous award $13.75 per case), and Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food procurement (approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas, response deadline extended to May 4, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each solicited comprehensive food bids covering nearly 400 line items for multi-school networks with Buy American Act compliance required. The UNSPSC code itself—focused on a single canned avocado product—shows minimal alignment with the institutional bulk-food procurement being actively solicited; this tag appears misapplied to broader food service sourcing efforts.
