UNSPSC 50591734: Dried Non GMO hall avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO hall 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 50591734 Dried Non-GMO Hall Avocados is a Commodity code, but recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect dried avocado procurement. Instead, the opportunities posted under this classification span broad food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service facilities. The work being solicited includes fresh produce procurement (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, citrus, melons, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, specialty items), packaged grocery items meeting Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, prepared meal service (breakfast, lunch, shelf-stable and kosher meals), and general food supplies for central warehousing and multi-site delivery. Issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and institutional food service operators. School nutrition programs and state-supported living centers are the primary customers. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and compliance with federal child nutrition regulations (Title VII CFR 210, 215, 200, 225–227, 235, 240, 245, 292) appear across multiple solicitations, and vendors must meet stringent nutritional, allergen (nut-free), labeling, and whole-grain standards.

Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Mid-Atlantic: Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education IFB, due June 30, 2026), Georgia (State of Georgia IFB, due June 22, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026; historical contract value $1.5 million), Florida (Hillsborough County ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery, due June 25, 2026; estimated three-year value $17,832,659.90), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District sealed-bid procurement for packaged meal boxes, due April 29, 2026). The code shows no activity specifically for dried avocados; the mismatch between the Commodity's nominal scope and the actual solicitations posted under it suggests either miscoding at source or migration of the commodity code to broader institutional food service procurement. Firms competing in this space should expect fixed-price contracts with firm pricing throughout the term, freight prepaid on pallet delivery, electronic submission through state or local e-procurement portals, and extensive compliance documentation including USDA statements, health inspection records, insurance certificates, and recall plans.
