UNSPSC 50461740: Canned or jarred k-9 avocados

The variety of avocados known as k-9 avocados that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461740 Canned or jarred k-9 avocados is a Commodity code with no recent state or local procurement activity directly matching the product scope. The code's nominal scope—specialty preserved avocado products for canine consumption—does not align with the actual solicitations posted under or near this code. The opportunities shown in the source instead reflect general food procurement for human consumption across institutional food service: school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with nearly half the recent opportunities originating from school nutrition programs in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County). State agencies also solicit regularly—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Aging (Veterans Homes), and Georgia Department of Education all posted opportunities between January and June 2026. A small number of county-level corrections and social services agencies round out the buyer base.

State and local procurement under these related codes emphasizes commoditized food supply contracts on fixed-price or cost-plus-margin terms, with firm pricing over annual or multi-year periods and allowance for midterm adjustments only when manufacturer price increases exceed defined thresholds (typically 5 percent). Delivery requirements are strict—weekly or more frequent drops to multiple school sites, central warehouses, or distributed facilities, often with refrigeration mandates and 98 percent on-time service targets. Evaluation prioritizes lowest responsive price, specification compliance, vendor track record, and ability to serve all line items or a minimum percentage threshold (often 95 percent). Buy American Act compliance is mandated in school procurement; USDA grades and FDA standards apply across institutional food service. Recent opportunities span Georgia (six school districts plus state procurement), Texas (HHSC two procurements totaling up to $9 million and $4.5 million respectively), Oregon (Department of Corrections three canned-good solicitations), Illinois (Veterans Homes), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Schools). The Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) carries a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026) cited $9 million annual expenditure across 32 schools. These contracts typically include renewal options extending three to five years and permit price adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices, Consumer Price Index data, or verified manufacturer price lists.
