UNSPSC 50471781: Canned or jarred organic ziu avocados

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

UNSPSC 50471781 Canned or jarred organic zia avocados (Commodity) covers shelf-stable food products—including canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, condiments, and related consumable supplies—that state and local governments procure for facility food service operations, canteens, and institutional nutrition programs. State and local buyers under this code span state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, county boards of commissioners, school districts, state departments of corrections, and state comptroller procurement offices acting on behalf of correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice as active buyers. The scope of work diverges substantially from the code's nominal name: recent opportunities focus on bulk shelf-stable grocery items (canned and frozen proteins, vegetables, pasta, rice, sauces, dairy products, baking supplies, and disposable food-service supplies) rather than avocados specifically. No recent opportunities under this code involve avocados, organic or otherwise.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary postings in Oregon and Illinois. Texas dominates the recent posting volume, with multiple invitations for bids from HHSC for state supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso facilities) and the Texas Comptroller procuring on behalf of TDCJ for correctional facilities across five geographic regions. Georgia shows sustained school nutrition procurement activity through Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026, opening June 8, 2026), both seeking comprehensive food and supplies for multi-school nutrition programs; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. Oregon's Department of Corrections issued a canned-tomato solicitation (S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST) for 7,616 cases with a 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidders; the Illinois state agency posted a quarterly food order for the July–September quarter (27497DVAQUINCB52821, bids due June 26, 2026). Notice types span IFB and informal written quotes; delivery terms uniformly require FOB Destination with inside delivery, seven-day or 72-hour fulfillment, and firm pricing on a unit basis. Pricing evaluation focuses on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value; most school districts require Buy American certification and HACCP plan compliance. None of the recent opportunities reference canned or jarred avocados by any specification variant.
