UNSPSC 50481823: Collinson avocado purees

The variety of avocados known as collinson avocados which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481823 Collinson avocado purees (Commodity) describes a single food ingredient, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity explicitly naming avocado purees. Instead, the code appears in procurement portfolios for broad consumable-food supply contracts where avocado purees would be one item among many — general food service for state institutions, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. The actual buying pattern under the code is kitchen and food-service supply for state-supported living centers, schools, and custodial facilities, where vendors respond to multi-line-item food RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs that bundle fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared foods with paper and chemical supplies. State Health and Human Services commissions, county school districts, and state corrections departments are the primary issuing bodies; these agencies run recurring annual or multi-year food-service contracts with renewal and extension options. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple solicitations for state-supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso locations) and supplemental statewide hospital and facility food supplies; Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and the Oregon Department of Corrections also show recent activity. The code sees concentrated recent activity in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional posts from Illinois and other states running parallel institutional food-service buys.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), a broad procurement of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products with approximately $1.5 million in prior-year volume and three-year potential value of up to $4.5 million; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse regions (due May 4, 2026), covering roughly 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty entrees with multiple renewal periods through 2029; and Ben Hill County Schools' school nutrition IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026), a one-year contract with options to extend covering food delivery to four school locations with Buy American Act compliance required. Most institutional food contracts run July 1 through June 30, align with fiscal or school years, and require firm fixed pricing for 30 days post-award with subsequent escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Vendors must typically submit three references, proof of liability insurance ($500,000 per occurrence minimum), HACCP documentation, debarment certifications, and E-Verify compliance; delivery is FOB Destination with seven-day or next-business-day windows standard, and all pricing must include transportation and fuel surcharges.
