UNSPSC 50481816: Brooks 1978 avocado purees

The variety of avocados known as brooks 1978 avocados which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481816 Brooks 1978 avocado purees, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the posted opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific branded product—Brooks 1978 avocado purees—yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code include general food procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and state agencies. State and local governments do buy groceries, produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and veterans' homes through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, but the posted opportunities show no demand for avocado purees by brand or description. The issuing bodies span state procurement offices (Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia), school districts (Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county systems (Ben Hill County Schools). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with sporadic activity in Virginia.

The actual procurement activity under this code reflects general food and consumable sourcing for institutional food service, not specialty or branded items. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools (due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District competitive bids for grocery items for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a single, vintage avocado puree product—and the breadth of general commodity food procurement suggests either systematic miscoding or that this UNSPSC designation carries limited relevance for active state and local buyers. Vendors pursuing food service supply contracts should reference broader commodity codes covering institutional food procurement rather than this specific product-level code.
