UNSPSC 50591730: Dried Non GMO fuerte avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO fuerte 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 50591730 Dried Non GMO fuerte avocados is a Commodity code covering specialty produce items purchased by state and local food service operations, school nutrition programs, and institutional kitchens. The recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local governments are buying fresh and processed produce—including fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items—as part of broader grocery and meal-service contracts rather than as standalone dried-avocado purchases. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, and Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal procurement offices. These entities source produce to support the National School Lunch Program, state-supported living centers, senior meal programs, and summer food service initiatives. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content are standard across school nutrition solicitations, and all contracts mandate compliance with health and safety standards, HACCP plans, and nutritional labeling requirements.

Recent activity centers on three states: Florida, Georgia, and Connecticut saw school district and county-level solicitations in June 2026, while Texas issued a state-level IFB for a supported living center in June 2026 and Mississippi a school district IFB in late April 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items and a June 26, 2026 due date; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 grocery items spanning produce, dairy, and proteins with a June 30, 2026 submission deadline; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products with a July 11, 2026 due date and a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years. None of the recent opportunities explicitly name dried or specialty avocados as a line item; the code shows little directly relevant recent activity and appears mismatched with the solicitations posted under it.
