UNSPSC 50591718: Dried Non GMO california haas avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO california haas 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 50591718 Dried Non GMO California Haas Avocados is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity does not appear to be actively solicited as a stand-alone line item. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span much broader food service and nutrition procurement — grocery items for school districts, fresh produce for educational meals, senior meal preparation and delivery, and consumable products for state-supported living facilities — but dried avocados specifically do not feature in the posted solicitations. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, the State of Georgia, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi have all posted recent food and nutrition opportunities, but these are driven by institutional meal programs, school nutrition compliance, and Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content rather than specialty ingredient procurement.

Activity under this code is concentrated in the South and across school districts and state health agencies. The most recent opportunities posted between April and June 2026 include Bridgeport's grocery items solicitation (IFB, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a historical value of $1.5 million; Hancock County's fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (IFB, due June 26, 2026) with over 200 line items; Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services ITB (due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years; and the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026). The code itself appears misaligned with the actual procurement activity — dried avocados do not appear as a specified item in any of these institutional nutrition programs, suggesting either infrequent demand for this commodity or a cataloging mismatch between UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual goods state and local buyers are sourcing.
