UNSPSC 50491739: Organic k-5 avocado purees

The variety of organic avocados known as organic k-5 avocados which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50491739 Organic k-5 avocado purees is a Commodity code that describes a narrow product line, but the recent solicitations posted under this code show little actual procurement of avocado puree. Instead, state and local buyers are using the code to solicit broad food and consumables for institutional food service, including proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service supplies for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and senior services programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, Texas Comptroller statewide procurement on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia; Burke County, Georgia), and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Texas agencies—particularly HHSC soliciting for state supported living centers and state hospitals—appear most frequently in the recent opportunities block.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posting IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing a bid on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case; and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia posting a school nutrition food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 5, 2026) spanning nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories with an initial contract term from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity—avocado puree represents a misclassification, and the code captures general institutional food service purchasing rather than a specialized organic avocado product line.
