UNSPSC 50481850: Melendez avocado purees

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

UNSPSC 50481850 Melendez avocado purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not appear to source avocado purees under this code in recent procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code span a diverse range of food products—weekly food orders for veterans' homes, supplemental foods for state hospitals and supported living centers, cafeteria products for correctional facilities, fresh produce for school districts, and grocery supplies for various institutional foodservices. None of these solicitations reference avocado purees or specialty fruit products of this type. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or minimal market demand for this specific commodity through state and local procurement channels.

The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and state-supported living facilities across Texas. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the largest share of recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for state supported living centers (due July 13, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive school nutrition food bid (due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (due April 27, 2026). Given the code's mismatch with recent activity and the absence of avocado-puree-specific demand signals, this commodity warrants monitoring rather than active pursuit without evidence of actual buyer need.
