UNSPSC 50421740: Dried k-9 avocados

The variety of avocados known as k-9 avocados that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421740 Dried k-9 avocados, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement and represents a poor strategic fit for most business development pursuits in this market. The code nominally describes a niche dried-fruit product with specialized demand, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not involve dried avocados at all; they center on institutional food procurement for schools, corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs spanning fresh produce, dried beans, and cafeteria staples. The geographic and issuing-body diversity of the recent opportunities—school districts and state corrections and agriculture departments across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia—indicates that the code assignment to the existing opportunities is a taxonomy mismatch rather than a signal of active dried-avocado procurement.

The recent state and local contract opportunities under this code include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division (extended to May 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items (due April 29, 2026), and the Muscogee County School District's produce ITB (due April 27, 2026). These solicitations reveal that institutional food service is the actual procurement driver under this code designation, not dried avocados. If your firm supplies dried fruit, legumes, or other staple food ingredients to institutional kitchens or food service distributors, monitor corrections and school-district RFPs and ITBs directly rather than relying on this code; the taxonomy signal is unreliable. Conversely, if your business model depends on dried-avocado sales to state or local buyers, this code shows no actionable recent demand and should be deprioritized in favor of direct outreach to specific institutional food purchasers with demonstrated fresh or processed fruit procurement cycles.
