UNSPSC 50591771: Dried Non GMO taylor avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO taylor 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 50591771 Dried Non GMO taylor avocados, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — dried non-GMO taylor avocados as a food input — does not align with the state and local opportunities recently posted under this classification. The most recent opportunities posted under the code span comprehensive grocery procurement for school districts and public agencies, including fresh produce contracts (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes), prepared meal services, bulk food distribution, and general food service supplies, but none specifically call for dried avocado products. The issuing bodies represent a broad spectrum: school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county and city governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, City of Dallas), a state health agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a state procurement function (State of Georgia). The geographic spread covers Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs forming the dominant purchasing segment.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch: Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce across 200+ line items (apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes) under IFB #SN002-2027 with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and distribution centers, with bids due April 27, 2026; and Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across 30 participating districts, proposals due March 4, 2026. The code shows no posted activity specifically requesting dried avocado products, and the breadth of recent opportunities reflects state and local investment in fresh commodity sourcing, prepared food services, and bulk distribution rather than specialty dried fruit procurement.
