UNSPSC 50481869: Simmonds avocado purees

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

UNSPSC 50481869 Simmonds avocado purees, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this classification. The code is designed to describe a specific processed food product — avocado puree manufactured under the Simmonds brand or equivalent — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code (spanning June 2026 back to January 2026) reflect broad institutional food procurement from state agencies, school districts, and corrections departments seeking general grocery and produce supplies with no mention of avocado purees or products matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, these opportunities target canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods for cafeterias, state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities.

The mismatch between code and actual buying activity suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or that avocado purees represent a negligible line item within larger food service contracts. Across the sample, issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (statewide state hospitals and supported living centers), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), multiple Georgia school systems (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Ben Hill County), and single-jurisdiction or multi-district cooperatives. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer type. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumable procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato bid (ITB S2910000017145, approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, covering 45 schools plus distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity and warrants caution in pursuit unless avocado purees are a known component of the target institution's food service specifications.
