UNSPSC 50621734: Non GMO hall avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO hall 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 50621734 Non GMO hall avocado purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records no solicitations for avocado purees or avocado-based products of any kind. The recent opportunities tied to this code span a broad range of food service and school nutrition procurements—including weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Homes, supplemental food for Texas state hospitals and supported living centers, canned tomatoes for Oregon corrections facilities, comprehensive grocery and fresh produce for school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and other states, and cafeteria food products for Texas prison facilities—but none reference avocados, avocado purees, or GMO-restricted produce lines. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual recent opportunities suggests either a cataloging error in the source material or that this Commodity sits dormant in recent state and local procurement cycles.

The opportunities that do populate this code family across Segments 50 (Produce, Seed and Plant Products) center instead on fresh produce items (apples, bananas, berries, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, eggs), canned and processed vegetables (tomato paste, canned tomatoes), and general grocery staples. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Burke County, and Liberty County schools in Georgia; Douglas County and Savannah-Chatham schools in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon ODOC), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois IVHQ), and county school nutrition programs across the Southeast and Midwest. A business development professional evaluating opportunity under this specific Commodity should verify whether the code assignment reflects actual procurement need or represents an orphaned classification with no active state and local demand.
