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 (Commodity), names a specific produce item, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with dried specialty avocados. The six opportunities posted between April and June 2026 span general grocery procurement, fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus, root vegetables), senior meal services, and kitchen supplies for schools and state facilities — none naming dried avocados or closely related specialty produce as a line item. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County and Pascagoula-Gautier in Georgia and Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia). School nutrition programs and institutional food service dominate the solicitation activity under this code tag, driven by National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American Provision requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas. Specific recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (response due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million (response due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with response due June 26, 2026, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years (response due June 25, 2026). The code shows no recent activity specific to dried avocado procurement; vendors pursuing specialty dried produce should verify directly with issuing bodies whether such items fall within their commodity lists or seek reclassification to a broader fresh or dried produce code.
