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 is a Commodity code that identifies a specific food product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged with it span substantially broader grocery and food service procurement—school nutrition programs, senior meal services, institutional food supply, and child nutrition summer programs—with no solicitation explicitly naming dried non-GMO beta avocados as a line item or category. The scope mismatch signals that this code is either misapplied in indexing across these opportunities or represents a narrow product within larger commodity bundles. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Hancock County, Georgia; Fairfax County, Virginia; Bulloch County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Meriden, Connecticut; Douglas County, Georgia; Pascagoula-Gautier, Mississippi), a state department (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia), a county government (Hillsborough County, Florida), and a city (Dallas). School districts dominate the activity, reflecting K-12 nutrition procurement tied to the National School Lunch Program and Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program, with contract values ranging from estimated annual spends of $1.5 million (Texas) to $3.1 million (Meriden) to $9 million (Douglas County) to an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million (Hillsborough County).

The geographic footprint spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia over the past six months (January–June 2026). Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's solicitation (BNB052266) for over 1,100 grocery line items including fresh and frozen produce with a June 30, 2026 due date; Douglas County School System's RFP (SN 26-004) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts totaling approximately $5.5 million annually, due March 4, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323) for grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026; and Hillsborough County's ITB (ITB2600289) for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026. All solicitations enforce Buy American domestic agricultural content requirements (typically 51 percent for processed goods), USDA compliance, HACCP food safety protocols, firm fixed pricing, and mandatory insurance coverage, with payment terms generally at Net 30 to Net 45 days. The absence of any specific recent opportunity naming dried non-GMO beta avocados as a distinct procurement line suggests that pursuing this code requires positioning the product as part of broader fresh-produce or specialty-item bundles rather than as a standalone category.
