UNSPSC 50591781: Dried Non GMO ziu avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO ziu 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 50591781 Dried Non GMO Ziu Avocados, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under recent state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged to this code request grocery items, fresh produce, food service supplies, and meal preparation and delivery services—none of which include dried avocados as a line item or specification. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services spanning over 1,100 line items (breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, meats, and beverages), all subject to Buy American and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards with firm pricing for July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.

The State of Georgia and multiple Georgia school districts—including Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County School System—issued IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, groceries, and food supply and distribution services ranging from $1.1 million to $9 million in estimated annual value.

The issuing-body mix reflects school districts, county and city government departments, and state health and human services agencies across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with minimum three-year vendor experience; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut procured groceries and USDA Foods for 8,200 students via RFP 026-41 with an anticipated contract value of $3,100,000 (due February 25, 2026, award anticipated April 24, 2026). The City of Dallas issued a Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals (due March 27, 2026) for boxed and bulk meal delivery to city events and trainings with a five-year term and local preference designations offering five evaluation points. The code shows substantial activity in K-12 school nutrition procurement, with numerous school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Fairfax County, and Meriden Public Schools) and state health and human services agencies as primary buyers. The geographic concentration spans the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Mississippi), Mid-Atlantic (Connecticut, Virginia), and Southwest (Texas), with no recent opportunities indicating procurement of dried avocados or products specifically matching the code's nominal description.
