UNSPSC 50621714: Non GMO booth 7 avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO booth 7 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 50621714 Non GMO booth 7 avocado purees, Commodity, does not map accurately to the state and local solicitations recorded under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no purchases of avocado purees; instead, the code is tagged to general food-service procurement across prepared foods, shelf-stable staples, proteins, and consumable supplies for state institutions, school districts, and county services. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code descriptor does not reflect current buying patterns. The scope of work actually being solicited under the opportunities in this block spans cafeteria and canteen operations at state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, schools, and county senior services, with recurring line items for french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken products, canned vegetables, dairy, condiments, disposable food-service supplies, and kitchen equipment. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia county school systems, Georgia county boards of commissioners, and the State of Illinois, reflecting a mix of state agencies, school districts, and county entities procuring food and consumables for institutional food service.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items for the Department of Community Services with quotes due October 19, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026. Texas contracts frequently reference historical values ($1.5 million for HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center's FY 2026 and $4.5 million potential value over three years for the supplemental food and consumables statewide procurement) and long bid cycles with multiple addenda and question-and-answer periods. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) manage comprehensive food procurements spanning hundreds of line items across multiple schools with firm pricing for initial periods and subsequent adjustments tied to third-party market indices. Most solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, debarment certifications, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 per occurrence.
