UNSPSC 50591740: Dried Non GMO k-9 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO k-9 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 50591740 Dried Non GMO K-9 Avocados is a Commodity code. State and local governments show little relevant recent procurement activity under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried avocados or related specialty produce items; the opportunities tagged to this code describe school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts that span comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and prepared meal categories—not the narrow specialty commodity the code describes. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal food service authorities are the primary issuing bodies in this dataset, and their solicitations emphasize fresh produce, commercial groceries, dairy, proteins, and prepared meals rather than dried or specialty items.

The geographic spread of recent activity—Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia—reflects broad school nutrition and institutional food service demand across multiple states, but none of the posted opportunities specifically request dried avocados or specialty non-GMO animal feed products. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery bid (IFB, due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce procurement (IFB, due June 26, 2026) spanning 200+ line items of fresh fruits and vegetables; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB, due April 27, 2026) establishing grocery supply across 45 schools; and the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million in annual food service. The code appears misaligned with actual procurement volume in this market segment.
