UNSPSC 50591741: Dried Non GMO lamb haas avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO lamb haas 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 50591741 Dried Non GMO lamb haas avocados is a Commodity code that does not map to meaningful state and local procurement activity based on recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a highly specialized produce item — dried, non-GMO Hass avocados — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it include comprehensive school nutrition grocery contracts, senior meal delivery services, fresh produce supply across multiple categories, and general food service procurement. None of the recent solicitations name dried avocados, lamb or otherwise, as a line item or procurement objective. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual scope of work being solicited — broad-based food service supply for schools, state facilities, and county governments — suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is not actively used to classify state and local food service contracting.

School districts and county nutrition programs dominate the recent activity in this data set, with solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), alongside state-level procurement from Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Georgia. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) and the City of Dallas (Texas) also solicited food-service contracts. These jurisdictions are purchasing fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, meats, pantry staples, beverages, and supplies — not specialty dried items — under firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and delivery to multiple school sites or institutional facilities. If dried avocados are sourced at all under this code, they do not appear in the recent state and local record.
