UNSPSC 50471765: Canned or jarred organic ruehle avocados

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

UNSPSC 50471765 Canned or jarred organic ruehle avocados is a Commodity code that captures preserved fruit products, though the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect a specific market for canned organic avocados. Instead, the opportunities show state and local governments procuring broad consumable food baskets for institutional food service — prepared foods, canned proteins, vegetables, and related supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (Texas), state corrections departments (Oregon), state comptroller procurement divisions acting on behalf of corrections agencies (Texas), county school districts (Georgia, multiple districts), and county social service departments (Georgia). Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple fiscal year 2027 consumables procurements for state-supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso and a statewide supplemental food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers. State and local procurement offices issue these as IFBs and IWQs with response windows typically between seven and thirty days, and they require F.O.B. Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing per unit, company qualifications documentation, and references for similar-scope contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon. Representative current opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with seven-day delivery; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case in the prior February purchase from California Healthy Harvest); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations (extended due date May 4, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition program food and supplies across four schools (due June 15, 2026). None of these recent solicitations explicitly targets organic canned avocados, signaling a potential mismatch between the code's nominal scope and current state and local procurement activity.
