UNSPSC 50481832: Gossman avocado purees

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

UNSPSC 50481832 Gossman avocado purees is a Commodity code that in practice captures a narrow slice of state and local food service procurement — institutional food products procured by state health and human services agencies, corrections departments, school districts, and county senior services for cafeteria, canteen, and dining operations. Recent opportunities show minimal direct demand for avocado purees specifically; the code appears to be overly granular relative to actual procurement patterns. State and local buyers soliciting under related food commodity codes are requesting bulk food products including proteins, frozen and fresh produce, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies delivered to institutional kitchens and distribution centers. Issuing bodies span state departments of health and human services (particularly Texas HHSC), state corrections systems, county boards of education, county senior services divisions, and independent school districts. These agencies consolidate multi-facility or statewide food service operations into single solicitations to achieve volume discounts and standardized procurement timelines.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas HHSC has posted multiple solicitations since May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables serving state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, with estimated historical values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million per procurement cycle. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items with F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case as of the February 2026 prior purchase (due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive school nutrition procurement across four school locations (due June 15, 2026) under Buy American Act requirements. Response timelines typically compress to two to three weeks, with firm pricing required, F.O.B. Destination delivery standard, and compliance certifications including debarment, E-Verify, and often HACCP or food safety protocols mandatory across all bids.
