UNSPSC 50591706: Dried Non GMO beta avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO beta avocados that have 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 50591706 Dried Non GMO beta avocados, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code is the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery items RFP for the Bridgeport Board of Education (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), which spans over 1,100 line items including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products—but does not identify dried avocados as a specified or itemized line. The broader contract supports the National School Lunch Program and requires 51 percent domestic agricultural content, compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, no nuts or nut oils, and whole grain requirements. Delivery occurs Monday through Friday to a central warehouse at 113 Federal Street in Bridgeport and to designated school sites, with vendors accepting orders through the LINQ School Solutions system and maintaining 24-hour emergency stock capability. The contract term runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with firm fixed pricing and no fuel surcharges.

Geographic activity under this code is concentrated in Connecticut, driven by the Bridgeport Board of Education opportunity. No other recent state or local solicitations explicitly reference dried non-GMO beta avocados or indicate procurement under this Commodity code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual line items in the single tagged opportunity suggests either an administrative tagging error or that dried avocados represent a negligible or ad hoc line within broader grocery procurement rather than a strategically sourced product category for state and local buyers. The code shows little relevant recent activity and warrants continued monitoring for future school nutrition or institutional food service RFPs rather than immediate pursuit based on current posted opportunities.
