UNSPSC 50481815 Booth 8 avocado purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments purchasing broad categories of consumable food items — prepared proteins (chicken wings, beef brisket, pre-cooked patties), frozen specialty items (burritos, corn dogs), dairy products, grains, canned vegetables and fruits, condiments, and food service supplies — rather than avocado purees specifically. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and corrections departments, county social services and schools boards, and school districts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers, posting multiple solicitations for institutional food supply contracts that span dozens of line items and hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Smaller jurisdictions including Gwinnett County (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Schools (Georgia), and Lufkin State Supported Living Center (Texas) also solicit under similar commodity classifications for canteen, cafeteria, and resident nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFBs for consumables at state supported living centers in Lufkin (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026) and El Paso (IFB HHS0017449, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million), as well as a supplemental food procurement across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792v2, maximum value $4.5 million over three years). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products for multiple warehouse locations statewide via IFB 304T-26-300CF (response due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools sought food products and related items (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026); and Burke County Public Schools posted a comprehensive grocery bid for five schools (due June 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). The Illinois State Board of Education also posted a weekly food order procurement (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). Delivery windows are typically seven to 30 days from order receipt, F.O.B.
