UNSPSC 50591711: Dried Non GMO booth 1 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO booth 1 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 50591711 Dried Non GMO booth 1 avocados is a Commodity code that encompasses dried and processed fruit products sourced for institutional food service; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance to the narrow commodity name, instead focusing on broad-spectrum grocery and produce supply contracts serving school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related food-service procurement codes include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county governments (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Meriden). School districts dominate the activity, with multiple districts issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for comprehensive grocery supply and fresh produce contracts that form the backbone of school nutrition procurement throughout the region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issuing IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (including vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meats) subject to Buy American requirements and National School Lunch Program compliance, with firm pricing through June 30, 2027; Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 with an April 27, 2026, response deadline for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN26-003 with a February 18, 2026, deadline for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual value of $9,000,000.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, State of Georgia procurements) and Florida (Hillsborough County), with additional activity in Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Dallas), Mississippi (Hancock County), and other southeastern and mid-Atlantic jurisdictions. The code itself nominally addresses dried avocados, but state and local procurement offices are using it to tag broad grocery and produce supply contracts; the actual buying includes fresh produce (apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, potatoes, tomatoes), frozen and canned items, meats, dairy, grains, and packaged goods. School nutrition programs account for the majority of volume, with contracts typically running July-to-June fiscal cycles, firm fixed pricing for the initial 12-month term with optional six-month or annual adjustments tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks, and delivery to multiple school sites on a weekly or as-needed basis. Vendors must meet Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall capability, provide proof of commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence), and comply with federal child nutrition regulations and state procurement law. Activity is current and sustained—responses were due or are due through June 2026—indicating steady demand for institutional food supply services.
