UNSPSC 50591723: Dried Non GMO collinson avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO collinson 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 50591723 Dried Non GMO Collinson Avocados is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it span broad food procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and senior meal delivery — encompassing fresh produce, packaged grocery items, and complete meal services rather than dried avocados specifically. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being bought suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code as a catchall for food and consumable purchasing across multiple categories, or that the tagging reflects a data classification issue rather than intentional alignment with dried-avocado procurement. School districts, county boards of education, state health agencies, and county commissioners are the primary issuing bodies, with the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) among the recent active buyers.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and service types. The Bridgeport Board of Education issued an IFB in June 2026 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items including breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat products to support the National School Lunch Program, with a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items — apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items — with bids due June 26, 2026 and delivery to three school sites from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITB in June 2026 valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years for senior meal preparation and delivery services at 25 dining and adult care facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB in June 2026 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million. Recent activity is concentrated in Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, and Mississippi, with emphasis on school nutrition and institutional food service through July and August 2026.
