UNSPSC 50591747: Dried Non GMO lula avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO lula 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 50591747 Dried Non-GMO lula avocados, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The source records no recent opportunities that actually solicit dried avocados or dried produce; instead, the opportunities tagged under this code predominantly request fresh produce, bulk groceries, meal preparation and delivery, and school nutrition supplies spanning fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and specialty dietary items. State and local governments buying under this code designation are acquiring comprehensive food service inputs for school districts, county nutrition programs, senior meal services, and facility food operations—none of which turn on dried avocados as a material input. The recent opportunities show broad food service and nutrition procurement from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, and Douglas County School System), county commissioners (Hillsborough County), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia Department of Human Services), and the City of Dallas, with work spanning K-12 meal service, senior congregate and home-delivered meals, and institutional facility food service.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Florida, with additional activity in Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with approximately $1.5 million historical annual spend (due July 13, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years (due June 25, 2026); and Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution serving approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (due February 18, 2026). The code's tagging appears to be a misclassification; dried non-GMO avocados do not materially feature in active state and local food service procurement under current market conditions.
