UNSPSC 50591727: Dried Non GMO ettinger avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO ettinger 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 50591727 Dried Non GMO Ettinger Avocados is a Commodity code with limited recent activity specifically targeting dried non-GMO Ettinger avocados. State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect the narrow product scope the code name implies; instead, the recent opportunities block shows school districts, county boards of education, and municipal agencies issuing broad-based solicitations for comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and food service supplies where dried avocados, if procured at all, represent a single line item among hundreds. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Meriden Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District have all posted solicitations for food products spanning breakfast items, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and prepared foods, with each opportunity encompassing 50 to over 1,100 line items. These issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education pursuing National School Lunch Program contracts and summer food service programs, supplemented by a Texas state health agency (Health and Human Services Commission procuring for a state-supported living center) and the City of Dallas (soliciting meal delivery services). Recent opportunities also include specialized procurements such as Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (estimated at $17.8 million over three years) and the City of Meriden's commercial groceries and USDA Foods supply contract (anticipated value approximately $3.1 million for 2026-2027).

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County), Florida (Hillsborough County), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), and the broader region—with additional representation in the Northeast (Connecticut and Virginia) and Texas. The most recent opportunity is the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department with firm fixed pricing and 48-hour delivery capability required; Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and distribution kitchens with an option for four one-year renewals; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) sought a main-line food distributor to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million. No recent opportunity specifically solicits dried avocados as a primary product line or stands out as a vehicle for vendors specializing in that commodity.
