UNSPSC 50591732: Dried Non GMO gossman avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO gossman 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 50591732 Dried Non GMO gossman avocados is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a much broader procurement pattern: school districts, county governments, state agencies, and regional health authorities are using this code to solicit bids for comprehensive food and consumable products — fresh produce, grocery items spanning 1,100+ line items, meal preparation and delivery services, and packaged nutrition products for student feeding programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Bridgeport Board of Education) alongside county and state health or nutrition agencies (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia state purchasing). Most solicitations are structured as IFBs or ITBs with firm fixed pricing, Buy American provision requirements (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed goods), compliance with federal school nutrition standards (Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, National School Lunch Program), HACCP and food safety documentation, and delivery to multiple school or facility sites on a recurring annual or multi-year contract basis.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and South: Hancock County (Georgia), Bridgeport (Connecticut), Pascagoula-Gautier (Mississippi), Hillsborough County (Florida), and Texas Health and Human Services all posted opportunities between April and June 2026. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (200+ line items of apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits, due June 26, 2026), City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items spanning breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat for the school board (due June 30, 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services at 25 congregate and home-delivery locations (estimated value $17,832,659.90 over three years, due June 25, 2026). The code shows significant recent volume in school nutrition contracting but shows little evidence of activity specifically for dried non-GMO gossman avocados as a discrete line item.
