UNSPSC 50621731: Non GMO gorham avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO gorham 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 50621731 Non GMO gorham avocado purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure packaged food products for institutional feeding operations, primarily school districts and state health agencies. Recent solicitations show the code captures specialty food items distributed through centralized food service procurement alongside broader grocery and produce buys, though the recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly address canned goods, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods rather than avocado purees specifically—a mismatch that suggests either broad categorization of commodity foods under the code or administrative tagging that does not reflect actual product scope. The issuing bodies are state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), county school systems (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Burke County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County schools in Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), and special-purpose districts. School districts dominate the recent activity, conducting large-scale annual and multi-year food service contracts.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with the most recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center, proposals due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 (canned tomatoes, approximately 7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12 for 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, sealed bids due April 27, 2026). Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017 for produce (approximately 60 line items, bids due April 27, 2026) and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts, estimated $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026) exemplify the scale and scope of school nutrition procurement. Contracts typically run twelve months with renewal options of one to three additional years; pricing is generally firm fixed for the initial term with adjustments permitted at renewal or tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices. Most solicitations require compliance with Buy American Act provisions, HACCP plans, food safety certifications, and liability insurance thresholds of $1 million to $2 million.
