UNSPSC 50481882: Zutano avocado purees

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

UNSPSC 50481882 Zutano avocado purees is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized processed produce items supplied to state and local institutions, though recent solicitation activity does not include direct procurement of zutano avocado purees specifically. Instead, the code's recent activity reflects broader food service provisioning where produce and prepared items are bundled with general grocery, protein, and consumable supplies. State and local buyers under this code family include school districts (particularly school nutrition programs serving K-12 populations), state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and state hospitals, departments of corrections, and state veterans homes. The work being solicited consists of food product supply contracts ranging from quarterly weekly food orders to annual fixed-price agreements with firm pricing, encompassing hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, bakery, condiments, and consumable supplies. Vendors must meet strict compliance standards including Buy American Act requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content), USDA grade specifications, sodium and nutritional limits, shelf-life requirements, HACCP plan implementation, food safety certifications, debarment status verification, and liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 (fiscal year alignment) with renewal options ranging from one to four additional years and include delivery requirements to multiple locations weekly with service level minimums of 98 percent on-time delivery.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in the Southeast and Texas. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, including HHS0017449 (El Paso facility, IFB, due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million) and HHS0016792 (statewide, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). Georgia school districts represent a strong cluster of activity: Ben Hill County Schools issued IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for multiple product categories across four schools; Liberty County Board of Education issued an IFB for over 400 food items (due April 29, 2026) with weekly delivery to 13 school sites; Burke County Public Schools sought bids on nearly 400 line items (due June 5, 2026); Muscogee County School District procured fresh produce via ITB 26-017 (due April 27, 2026); and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System awarded Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items (due April 23, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections and Illinois Veterans Home facilities also appear in the record. School districts and state health agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with Douglas County Schools (Georgia) coordinating multi-district cooperative procurements via the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 18 to 30 districts, increasing contract scale and vendor reach. No UNSPSC-50481882-specific zutano avocado puree procurement appears in the recent record; activity is driven by institutional bulk food service needs rather than specialty produce lines.
