UNSPSC 50591777: Dried Non GMO wagner avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO wagner 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 50591777 Dried Non GMO Wagner Avocados is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single specialty produce line item. Recent state and local solicitations, however, show no purchasing activity specifically for dried non-GMO Wagner avocados. The code does not appear in the scope of active school nutrition, municipal food service, or institutional procurement opportunities posted in the past six months. State and local jurisdictions are instead soliciting broadly across fresh produce categories, comprehensive grocery supply, meals-ready-to-serve, and food service distribution — encompassing apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, eggs, dairy, proteins, and processed foods — but not specialty dried avocado products. The mismatch between the code's narrow product definition and the wider commodity families actually being procured suggests this code has minimal relevance to current state and local contracting activity.

The dominant issuing bodies pursuing food procurement are school districts and boards of education across multiple states (Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Virginia), followed by county and municipal agencies. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for school food service; the State of Georgia's fresh produce IFB (PE68504NONST2026000000006, due May 27, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, February 18, 2026 closing) for $9 million in annual spend across 32 schools. These contracts emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions (51% domestic content), HACCP food safety certification, nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act and Child Nutrition Program rules, and fixed-price firm commitments over 12-month periods. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school systems and state-level procurements), Connecticut, Florida, Virginia, and Mississippi, reflecting demand from large school districts and state agencies. No incumbent vendors or specialty avocado suppliers are named in recent postings, and none of the opportunities reference the specific commodity this code describes.
