UNSPSC 50591772: Dried Non GMO tonnage avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO tonnage 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 50591772, Dried Non-GMO Tonnage Avocados, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect purchases of dried avocados at all; instead, they span fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supplies, meal preparation services, and boxed meal delivery across school districts, county governments, state agencies, and cities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests that either the opportunities have been miscoded or that state and local buyers do not currently procure dried avocados through these channels in sufficient volume to generate coded activity. No solicitation in the dataset explicitly names dried avocados or tonnage-basis commodity purchases.

The opportunities themselves—including a $17.8 million three-year Hillsborough County senior meal delivery contract (ITB-26-00289), Meriden Public Schools' $3.1 million grocery and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 026-41), and a Douglas County School System food supply contract with an estimated annual value of $9 million (RFP 26-003)—represent the broader grocery and food-service ecosystem where this code theoretically sits. State and local procurement of fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared meals dominates the recent record across Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia school districts and municipal agencies. If dried avocado commodity sales exist in state and local procurement, they are not surfacing in the UNSPSC 50591772 category or are being sourced through broader food-supply line items. Vendors should treat this code as inactive for pursuit purposes and monitor broader commodity or fresh-produce categories instead.
