UNSPSC 50591759: Dried Non GMO pinelli avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO pinelli 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 50591759 Dried Non GMO Pinelli Avocados is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect dried non-GMO pinelli avocados or avocado products; instead, the opportunities demonstrate that this code designation masks broad food service and nutrition procurement activity spanning school districts, county governments, and state agencies acquiring comprehensive fresh produce, groceries, and meal services. State and local buyers under this code are primarily school nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education) and aging services or state health agencies (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Hillsborough County senior meal delivery), with occasional specialty procurement for municipal meal services (City of Dallas event catering). The scope encompasses far more than dried avocados—recent solicitations request fresh produce, groceries, eggs, frozen items, dairy, meats, beverages, condiments, and meal preparation services, all subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content in most school nutrition contexts), HACCP food safety plans, nutritional compliance standards, and delivery to distributed school sites or facilities.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Georgia (Douglas County Schools RFP for food supply and fresh produce with $9 million and $5.5 million estimated annual spend; Bulloch County Board of Education IFB for comprehensive school nutrition groceries; Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools fresh produce bid; State of Georgia food supplies and fresh produce IFBs), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools RFP for groceries and USDA foods with anticipated $3.1 million contract value), Florida (Hillsborough County ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with $17.8 million three-year value), Texas (HHSC El Paso procurement with $1.5 million prior-period spend; City of Dallas RFCSP for boxed and bulk meal delivery), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with June 30, 2026 response deadline under Buy American requirements; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning 200-plus items with June 26, 2026 deadline; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with March 4, 2026 response deadline and estimated combined annual spend of approximately $5.5 million. The code shows active, recurring demand but with significant misalignment between its nominal scope and actual purchasing patterns.
