UNSPSC 50591731: Dried Non GMO gorham avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO gorham 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 50591731 Dried Non GMO Gorham Avocados, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within school food service and institutional nutrition procurement — dried avocado products meeting non-GMO specifications for use in breakfast, lunch, and nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, however, show little direct activity for the specific commodity itself; instead, they reflect broader grocery and fresh produce buys under which dried avocados might be included as line items. The issuing bodies are school districts and state agencies managing food service operations. Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an RFP for over 1,100 line items of grocery items spanning cereals, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and snacks under Buy American provisions (June 30, 2026 due date); Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under an IFB (due July 11, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items including specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year (June 26, 2026 due date). A Hillsborough County (Florida) ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services ($17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026) and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) solicitation for packaged meal boxes (due April 29, 2026) also appear in the record, though neither directly targets dried avocado products.

The code shows minimal targeted procurement activity specific to dried non-GMO avocados. School districts and state nutrition programs in Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas are active in the June 2026 window, but the recent opportunities reflect consolidated buys of fresh produce, bulk grocery items, and prepared meals rather than category-specific dried fruit sourcing. The broader category of fresh produce and grocery procurement under National School Lunch Program and Buy American compliance requirements drives volume, but no single opportunity in the recent record explicitly calls for dried avocado products by specification or line item. Participation in these broader food service bids may require bundled product portfolios that include dried avocados as minor components rather than primary offerings, or this particular commodity code may see limited state and local demand at this time.
