UNSPSC 50591712: Dried Non GMO booth 3 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO booth 3 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 50591712 Dried Non GMO booth 3 avocados is a Commodity code that maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific dried avocado product—does not align with the work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. The recent opportunities show little relevant activity specific to dried avocados; instead, they reflect broad food and nutrition procurement spanning fresh produce, processed grocery items, meal preparation services, and consumable supplies across school nutrition programs, senior services, and state-supported facilities.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing (Georgia). Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program with a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Hancock County's IFB for fresh produce encompassing over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, root vegetables, and specialty produce for delivery through June 30, 2027; Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years with bids due June 25, 2026; and Texas HHS's IFB for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 11, 2026. The code shows recent activity in Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi, though the mismatch between the commodity's specific product definition and the broad-based food procurement being solicited suggests this code may be misapplied in state and local systems.
