UNSPSC 50591774: Dried Non GMO tower li avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO tower ii 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 50591774 Dried Non-GMO tower li avocados, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line — dried avocado products meeting non-GMO standards — but state and local procurement activity under this specific code does not align with the recent opportunities posted. The most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code actually span broad food-service procurement, including fresh produce for school nutrition programs, grocery items for school breakfast and lunch service, prepared meals for seniors, and food supplies for institutional food services. These broader categories fall outside the dried avocado commodity scope. School districts and county boards of education dominate the recent issuing bodies, with additional activity from state health and human services agencies and county commissioners. The Commodity code itself appears misaligned with what state and local governments are actually soliciting — the opportunities suggest food-service categories and fresh-produce procurement rather than specialty dried fruit products.

Geographic activity spans multiple states: Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission), Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education and State of Georgia), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District). Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with electronic bids due June 30, 2026; Hancock County's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200-plus line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; Texas HHSC's IFB for food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026; and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years with sealed bids due June 25, 2026. These solicitations do not reference dried avocado products, suggesting either tagging misalignment or minimal current demand for the specific commodity under this code in state and local procurement.
