UNSPSC 50591738: Dried Non GMO hickson avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO hickson 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 50591738 Dried Non-GMO Hickson Avocados, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope names a specific agricultural product, but the recent solicitations tagged under it encompass broad grocery, food service, and meal delivery contracts that do not require or center on dried hickson avocados as a line item. The City of Bridgeport's Board of Education grocery RFP (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and dairy; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covers broad food service supplies; and school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia are soliciting comprehensive fresh produce, dairy, and grocery supply contracts. None of these solicitations identify dried non-GMO hickson avocados as a specified or prioritized commodity.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Douglas County School System) and state or county agencies supporting food service operations (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners). Recent procurement activity is concentrated in Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Texas, with solicitations running from January through July 2026. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity name and the breadth of actual recent solicitations suggests either misclassification of opportunities under this code or minimal standalone demand for dried hickson avocados in state and local food service procurement. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether the commodity appears as a line item in school nutrition or institutional food service RFPs before investing in formal pursuit.
