UNSPSC 50591710: Dried Non GMO blair booth avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO blair booth 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 50591710 Dried Non GMO blair booth avocados is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single specialty produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little direct relevance to dried avocados. Instead, the block surfaces a broad range of school nutrition, senior meal service, and institutional food procurement — fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, packaged meal boxes, and catering services. The actual buying activity appears to reflect general food service contracting rather than a narrow commodity focus. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with Bridgeport, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Meriden, and Douglas County boards of education all active in recent solicitations, alongside state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia state procurement), county governments (Hillsborough County), and cities (Meriden, Dallas). These jurisdictions procure food products and related services through IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs, typically with firm fixed-price contracts over one-year terms with renewal options. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content are standard across school nutrition contracts, and compliance with HACCP plans, nutritional labeling, and federal food service regulations is universal.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and nationwide, with active solicitations posted from Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, $3.1 million anticipated value for 2026-2027), Georgia (Douglas County School System, approximately $9 million for food supply and distribution and $4.4–$1.1 million for produce and eggs across 30 districts), Florida (Hillsborough County, $17.8 million estimated over three years for senior meal preparation and delivery), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District, packaged meal boxes), and Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, $1.5 million historical prior-period value; City of Dallas, boxed and bulk meal delivery over five years). Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items for the Board of Education with electronic bids due June 30, 2026; Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services for approximately 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools with a February 18, 2026 proposal deadline; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) with sealed bids due April 27, 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity, but direct procurement of dried avocados does not appear in any of the posted solicitations, suggesting a misalignment between the commodity taxonomy and actual market activity.
