UNSPSC 50591746: Dried Non GMO loretta avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO loretta 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 50591746 Dried Non GMO Loretta Avocados is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried non-GMO loretta avocados or any dried avocado products specifically. Instead, the tagged opportunities span fresh produce procurement (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, eggs), comprehensive grocery supply for school nutrition programs and senior meal services, and boxed meal delivery — none of which reference dried or specialty avocado items. The code's narrow focus on a single dried produce variant does not align with the broad commodity categories state and local buyers are actively soliciting.

State and local agencies soliciting under related produce and grocery codes are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Douglas County Schools) and county or city nutrition service agencies (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for senior meals, City of Bridgeport for school lunches, City of Dallas for event catering, Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state facility food service). These buyers issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates typically in late April through July. Geographic spread includes Georgia (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden, Bridgeport), Virginia (Fairfax County), Texas (Dallas, El Paso), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier). The absence of any posted opportunity for dried avocado products — whether specialty or commodity-grade — suggests the code is not currently active in state and local procurement channels.
