UNSPSC 50621716: Non GMO brooks 1978 avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO brooks 1978 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 50621716 Non GMO Brooks 1978 Avocado Purees (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted against this code—all from the second and third quarters of 2026—involve comprehensive food service supply contracts for state facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions, spanning hundreds of line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, produce, condiments, and food service supplies. None of the representative opportunities name avocados or puree products; instead, they solicit canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen mixed vegetables, potatoes, peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and prepared food products such as french fries, hashbrown patties, and chicken wings. The code name does not align with the commodity mix being actively procured.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products under this code span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals), Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Most solicitations are IFBs with response dates in May through October 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (prepared foods and food service supplies) at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County's informal written quote 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta), due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, due June 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products and kitchen supplies across multiple product categories for four schools, due June 15, 2026. The code shows no recent activity aligned with its stated commodity name and warrants further clarification from the issuing body on correct UNSPSC classification.
