UNSPSC 50481873: Tower avocado purees

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

UNSPSC 50481873 Tower avocado purees is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity captures fresh and processed food products supplied to institutional food service operations—including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county service departments. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments purchasing shelf-stable and refrigerated food items in bulk quantities: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumable foods and supplemental food products for state-supported living centers; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes; school districts in Georgia and other states have issued food bids covering fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared items; and county governments have requested quotes for bulk shelf-stable groceries. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, state correctional systems, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and county service departments. Scope varies from narrow single-product procurements (canned tomatoes) to comprehensive food service contracts encompassing hundreds of line items across multiple product categories, with delivery to institutional sites, F.O.B. Destination terms standard, and response deadlines typically 7–14 days from posting.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted at least three separate food and consumable bids since May 2026 (HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, HHS0016792V2 for statewide state hospitals and supported living centers with a potential value of $4.5 million over three years, and HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center due October 23, 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools—and Gwinnett County have each solicited comprehensive food procurement. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Human Services posted a quarterly food order. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for multiple warehouse locations. Bidders typically must provide references, comply with Buy American or product-origin preferences where applicable (Oregon and Georgia school procurement), demonstrate liability insurance and HACCP compliance, and accept firm fixed pricing or pricing subject to third-party market-data verification after initial contract periods.
