UNSPSC 50591707: Dried Non GMO biondo avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO biondo 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 50591707 Dried Non GMO biondo avocados is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying comprehensive grocery bundles—breakfast items, cereals, produce, dairy, meats, snacks, beverages, and condiments—through school nutrition programs and senior meal services rather than dried avocados as a standalone line item. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity is significant; recent solicitations tagged to this code show no specificity to dried avocados or avocado products at all. School districts, county boards of education, municipal purchasing departments, and regional school cooperatives dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat activity from Georgia school nutrition programs (Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) and multi-district cooperative procurements. Texas state health and human services, Connecticut public schools, Florida county government, and Mississippi school districts round out the geographic spread.

The representative recent opportunities reflect this divergence. The City of Bridgeport is buying over 1,100 line items of grocery products for school food service (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is requesting bids on food and consumable products for a state-supported living center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia is soliciting fresh produce across 200 line items for school nutrition (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Hillsborough County in Florida is requesting senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at approximately $17.8 million over three years (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026). Fairfax County Public Schools is seeking a Master Grocery contract for K-12 service (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and the City of Meriden, Connecticut is procuring commercial groceries and USDA Foods for 8,200 students across 13 school sites with an estimated value of $3.1 million (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026). This code shows no active, directly relevant procurement for dried avocado products; opportunities are concentrated in routine school nutrition and institutional food service supply, driven primarily by budget cycles aligned to academic years.
