UNSPSC 50591778: Dried Non GMO waldin avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO waldin 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 50591778 Dried Non-GMO Waldin Avocados, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct recent activity in state and local procurement; the single opportunity tagged with this code does not match the commodity's nominal scope. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 grocery solicitation (BNB052266) spans over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meat products for the National School Lunch Program, with no specification of dried avocados or specialty produce items in the summarized scope. The broader market for fresh and processed produce within state and local school nutrition procurement is substantial—recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and Douglas County Schools (Georgia) all target fresh produce categories including apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, and root vegetables—but none explicitly reference dried avocados as a line item.

State and local procurement under produce-related codes remains concentrated among school districts and education boards, with secondary activity from state health and human services agencies and county commissioners. School nutrition programs drive the majority of volume through annual or multi-year term contracts for grocery supply and fresh produce, with issuing bodies including independent school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Mississippi; Bulloch County Board of Education, Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia), city purchasing on behalf of school systems (Meriden, Connecticut; Bridgeport, Connecticut), and cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple districts. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. Vendors pursuing this code should note that school nutrition procurement typically requires Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content minimum), HACCP certification, extensive nutritional labeling and specification documentation, and delivery to multiple sites on tight time windows; the absence of dried avocados in recent solicitation scopes suggests limited near-term opportunity under this specific commodity code.
