UNSPSC 50591720: Dried Non GMO chica avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO chica 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 50591720 Dried Non GMO chica avocados, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement records with minimal recent activity directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically naming dried avocados or chica avocados as line items; instead, the tagged records span broad grocery, food supply, fresh produce, and meal service contracts issued by school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and municipal governments across the Southeast and beyond. These opportunities—including Bridgeport's grocery bid, Texas Health and Human Services' food and consumable products procurement, Hancock County Schools' fresh produce contract, and multiple school nutrition solicitations from Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Virginia—are tagged at higher tiers of the UNSPSC taxonomy and capture dozens or hundreds of food categories per opportunity, but none isolate dried avocado products as a distinct procurement line. The absence of a recent state or local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB specifically requesting dried non-GMO chica avocados suggests either limited demand for this specialty commodity within state and local food service operations, or systematic mismatch between the code designation and the actual products being solicited.

School districts and state food service authorities dominate the issuing bodies in the broader food-supply ecosystem this code sits within, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia. Contracts typically run annual cycles tied to school nutrition programs (July 1 through June 30) and emphasize compliance with USDA Buy American provisions, HACCP protocols, nutritional standards, and delivery to multiple school sites. Dried or specialty produce items, when procured, are subsumed into master grocery or fresh-produce line-item lists rather than solicited as standalone commodities. No recent opportunity names dried non-GMO chica avocados as a contract line or mentions avocado products at any specification level, indicating this code either serves a niche or inactive procurement segment within state and local government purchasing.
