UNSPSC 50591770: Dried Non GMO simpson avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO simpson 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 50591770 Dried Non GMO simpson avocados is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce item, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under it span broad food-service procurement — school lunch programs, senior meal services, institutional food supply, and summer nutrition programs — rather than avocados specifically. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, Hancock County in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). School districts and county nutrition programs dominate the recent activity.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery-items RFQ (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 line items spanning cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and beverages under the National School Lunch Program with Buy American provision requirements (51% domestic agricultural content) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance. Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB (HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center references historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period. Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh-produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) covers over 200 line items of fresh produce — apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty items — with 51% domestic content requirement and delivery to three school sites. Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB (ITB2600289, due June 25, 2026) for senior meal preparation and delivery services carries an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million. These solicitations demonstrate that the code's recent activity reflects institutional food-service procurement broadly rather than dried avocado products specifically, suggesting a classification mismatch in the state and local opportunities system.
