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

UNSPSC 50481869 Simmonds avocado purees is a Commodity code that describes a specific fresh or processed fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no procurement activity for avocado purees. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve broad food-supply contracts for institutional food service — state health and human services agencies, county governments, school districts, and correctional departments sourcing shelf-stable and fresh foods, consumables, and kitchen supplies for cafeterias, canteens, senior centers, and state-supported living facilities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement suggests this code may be seldom used or incorrectly applied by issuing bodies when they post food-service solicitations.

Recent opportunities show food purchasing concentrated among state health and human services commissions and departments (Texas HHS, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), and state correctional and supported-living operators (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Procurements span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces, due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case, due June 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and supplies for four schools, with bids due June 15, 2026. No current activity under this code specifically targets avocado purees.
