UNSPSC 50591739: Dried Non GMO k-5 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO k-5 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 50591739 Dried Non GMO k-5 avocados, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span school nutrition procurement, institutional food service, senior meal delivery, and general grocery supply — encompassing fresh produce, packaged meals, breakfast items, condiments, frozen products, dairy, and meat. The code's nominal focus on dried, non-GMO avocados appears disconnected from the broad commodity purchasing these jurisdictions are conducting. State and local issuing bodies range across school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing (State of Georgia). School districts are a dominant buyer type under opportunities tagged with this code, driven by National School Lunch Program compliance and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards.

Recent activity centers in the South and mid-Atlantic regions. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an RFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items spanning produce, dairy, snacks, and condiments with a response deadline of June 30, 2026 and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a response deadline of July 13, 2026 and a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under an IFB with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty produce. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and a response deadline of June 25, 2026. The State of Georgia and school districts in Mississippi also posted food and supply solicitations during this period. The code shows no meaningful activity aligned to dried avocado products specifically; procurement professionals should verify UNSPSC classification accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged with this code.
