UNSPSC 50621726: Non GMO dr dupuis avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO dr dupuis 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 50621726 Non GMO Dr. Dupuis avocado purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. Recent opportunities posted under this code span a broad range of food products — canned tomatoes, fresh produce, cafeteria and school nutrition supplies, and weekly food orders for institutional facilities — but avocado purees, and the specific Dr. Dupuis brand referenced in the code name, do not appear in any of the recent solicitations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually buying suggests that either the code assignment is inconsistent with procurement office practice or the code title no longer reflects current market usage. State and local issuing bodies using this code or its parent categories include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI and Burke County Public Schools in Missouri and Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County and Muscogee County School Systems in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia), state departments and health authorities (the State of Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Oregon Department of Corrections), and other institutional food service operations.

The recent opportunities reveal that state and local procurement under food-related codes clusters around school nutrition programs and institutional food service for correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period spend of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000015837 for canned tomato products (due February 9, 2026, referencing a historical purchase price of $14.30 per case), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for a Master Grocery K-12 contract covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts, state procurement), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ procurement), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI and other school districts), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Most solicitations are issued as IFBs or RFPs with response deadlines ranging across the calendar year; evaluation prioritizes lowest responsive, responsible bidding with price adjustments limited to CPI or manufacturer price increases, Buy American Act compliance across school nutrition programs, and HACCP food safety certification.
