UNSPSC 50621700: Non GMO avocado purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO avocados. 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 50621700 Non GMO avocado purees, a Class code, does not reflect the actual purchasing activity in the recent state and local solicitations. The opportunities posted under this code span broad food procurement for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and veterans' homes—encompassing canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, condiments, and consumables. The code's nominal focus on avocado purees appears disconnected from the work being solicited; recent opportunities name tomato paste, canned tomatoes, fresh produce (apples, bananas, peppers, carrots, berries), eggs, and miscellaneous groceries, but do not reference avocados or avocado products. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error or that avocado-specific procurement is minimal relative to the broader commodity categories state and local buyers are actually acquiring.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Muscogee County School District. State agencies also procure regularly: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller), Illinois Veterans Home, and the State of Georgia. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0017449) for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) due April 27, 2026, seeking delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato bid (S2910000016405, due February 9, 2026) for 7,616 cases; and Douglas County School System's food-supply RFP (26-003) due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $9 million. Geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia (multiple school districts, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham County), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood School District), with Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools) representing the northeastern reach. Activity is steady across Q1 through Q2 2026 with no indication that avocado-puree vendors should prioritize this code; pursuit decisions should rely on actual commodity-category match rather than the nominal code name.
