UNSPSC 50591700: Dried Non GMO avocados

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO avocados that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50591700 Dried Non GMO avocados, a Class code, encompasses dried fruit products and related specialty produce items that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing this and related dried produce as components within broader grocery and food service contracts rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices managing institutional food operations—primarily school nutrition programs supported by the National School Lunch Program and senior meal initiatives. Vendors supplying under this code must meet Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), provide HACCP plans and complete nutritional documentation, comply with healthy eating standards, obtain food service facility licensure or registration where required, and carry commercial general liability and products liability insurance at specified minimums.
