UNSPSC 50591717: Dried Non GMO brookslate avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO brookslate 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 50591717 Dried Non GMO brookslate avocados is a Commodity code. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily as part of broader school nutrition and institutional food-service contracts rather than as standalone dried-avocado procurements. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show little activity narrowly focused on dried avocados; instead, they reflect aggregated grocery, produce, and meal-service solicitations where dried avocados, if present at all, constitute a line item within a much larger scope. The City of Bridgeport's grocery bid for the Board of Education (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat products, all subject to National School Lunch Program compliance and Buy American domestic-content requirements. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable bid for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce procurement (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026) similarly package produce and food items across multiple categories. Issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier in Mississippi), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), and county government (Hillsborough County, Florida). Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi.

The representative opportunities show food-service demand concentrated in K–12 school nutrition programs and senior or institutional meal services rather than specialized procurement of single dried-fruit commodities. Hillsborough County's senior-meals ITB (ITB2600289, due June 25, 2026) represents an outlier in scope and value at $17.8 million over three years but covers meal preparation and delivery services, not commodity supply alone. The Bridgeport and Hancock County school bids require firm pricing, Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic agricultural content, delivery to multiple school sites on standard pallets, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act requirements. The State of Georgia's May 15, 2026 solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) does not disclose specific scope details. Dried brookslate avocados do not appear as a named line item in any of the recent opportunity summaries, suggesting that if this code is used, it reflects a miscoding of broader produce or grocery categories rather than targeted demand for this specific dried fruit.
