UNSPSC 50591753: Dried Non GMO monroe avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO monroe 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 50591753 Dried Non GMO monroe avocados is a Commodity code. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily as part of larger school nutrition and institutional food-service contracts rather than as standalone dried-avocado procurements. Recent opportunities show the code tagged to comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and food-supply solicitations that span breakfast items, frozen products, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, snacks, and prepared meals across multiple line items—with dried or specialty avocados appearing as one item among hundreds in broad food-procurement RFPs and IFBs. The issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), counties (Hillsborough County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and special-purpose institutional food-service programs (state supported living centers, senior meal delivery). School districts and county nutrition programs dominate recent activity, typically requiring National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP plans, and blind testing by school personnel and laboratory technicians.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and South—Connecticut (City of Bridgeport, June 2026), Texas (HHSC El Paso, June 2026), Georgia (Hancock County Schools, June 2026 and State of Georgia, June 2026), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier, April 2026), and Florida (Hillsborough County, June 2026).
