UNSPSC 50581783: Non GMO beneke avocados

This is the Non Gmo version of Beneke Avocados. The Beneke Avocado is grown and distributed in the Dominican Republic, The Beneke is similar to a more typical green-skin avocado-it has a smoother texture, less oil and it turns red-black as it ripens.

UNSPSC 50581783 Non GMO Beneke Avocados is a Commodity code that maps to a narrow product line — fresh avocados meeting non-GMO specifications — yet the recent state and local procurement activity supporting this code does not reflect avocado purchasing. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code show broad fresh produce and food-service procurement spanning institutional dining, school nutrition, senior services, and correctional facilities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific cultivar) and the work actually being solicited (general fresh produce and food supplies) suggests either systematic miscoding in state procurement systems or that avocados are incidental line items within larger produce and consumables contracts. State and local buyers issuing under this code include state health and human services commissions (Texas), departments of corrections (Texas, Illinois), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bryan County), transit and senior-services authorities (Collier County Parks and Recreation, City of San Antonio), and specialized procurement entities (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas departments of corrections and health agencies appear repeatedly, particularly the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which has posted multiple fresh-produce solicitations across warehouse and institutional sites. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with additional recent opportunities in Florida and Wisconsin.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitation IW267420 for its Snyder Food Warehouse with responses due October 14, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables and foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; and the Bartow County School System's Request for Proposal 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables with a June 22, 2026, deadline. School districts emphasize local sourcing within 400 miles and seek produce vendors meeting USDA quality standards, food-safety compliance, and delivery schedules aligned to meal-program operations. Institutional food-service buyers in correctional and health-care settings procure fresh produce as part of broader monthly consumables and groceries contracts, often with quarterly or annual terms and renewal options. No contract values, set-asides, or specific avocado-purchase volumes appear in the recent notices; the code's actual relevance to avocado supply remains unclear.
