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 is a Commodity code that does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specific product scope—dried, non-GMO avocados under the Gorham brand—bears no apparent connection to the recent opportunities posted under this code designation, which instead document solicitations for broad grocery supply, fresh produce distribution, and meal preparation and delivery services across school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut; Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Mississippi; Bulloch County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Meriden Public Schools, Connecticut), county and municipal procurement offices (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Florida; City of Dallas, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and cooperative purchasing entities (GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 Georgia school districts). Opportunities include master grocery contracts (IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food supply), fresh produce procurement (RFPs and IFBs for multiple produce line items), and specialized services such as senior meal preparation and delivery. Geographic distribution spans Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with Georgia appearing most frequently as a procurement jurisdiction. Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BNB052266 (grocery items, 1,100+ line items, due June 30, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for an institutional living center, historical spend $1.5 million annually, due July 13, 2026); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB 26-00289 (senior meal preparation and delivery, estimated three-year contract value $17.8 million, due June 25, 2026); and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 (food supply and distribution for 32 schools, approximately $9 million annual spend, due February 18, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal product scope and the breadth of food service procurement recorded suggests this code either captures mislabeled opportunities or serves as a catch-all category that does not reliably surface opportunities specific to dried avocados or similar specialty ingredients.
