UNSPSC 50621719: Non GMO catalina avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO catalina 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 50621719 Non GMO catalina avocado purees is a Commodity code that captures what state and local governments actually procure under food service categories — though recent activity under this specific code designation shows minimal direct match to the nominal scope. The recent opportunities in the broader food procurement landscape reveal that state and local entities (school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans' facilities) are actively soliciting food products through RFQ, RFP, IFB, and ITB notices, but the commodities being bought span fresh produce, frozen entrees, canned goods, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods rather than specialty items like non-GMO catalina avocado purees. The sole opportunity tagged explicitly to this code — the State of Illinois FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order (RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) — describes brand-specific or equal items without naming avocado purees in publicly available summaries, suggesting either a mismatch between the UNSPSC tag and actual procurement scope or limited visibility into line-item detail. The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement across the market mix include state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County and Douglas County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Liberty County in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia), and other state-supported facilities (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center in Texas).

Geographic activity centers on the South (Georgia, Texas, Florida-adjacent) and Mid-Atlantic (Illinois, Virginia, Missouri), with material recent procurement volume in Oregon through ODOC. The representative solicitations demonstrate that state and local food procurement operates through multiple vehicles: routine quarterly RFQs for ongoing operations (Illinois Veterans Home); large annual school nutrition IFBs and RFPs (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 due June 15, 2026 for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 service; Burke County Public Schools RFP due June 5, 2026; Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for $9 million annual food distribution, RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts at $5.5 million estimated annual spend); state health and human services programs (Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026; HHSC IFB HHS0016792 supplemental food for hospitals and living centers statewide, $4.5 million maximum value over three years); and correctional departments (Oregon DOC IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026; Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products, extended to May 4, 2026). Pricing structures vary from firm fixed price with quarterly or semiannual adjustments tied to USDA indices or CPI to net-off-invoice and cost-plus-fee models. This code shows material procurement velocity across issuing bodies but limited evidence of specific avocado puree demand in current state and local solicitations.
