UNSPSC 50621735: Non GMO hardee avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO hardee 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 50621735 Non GMO hardee avocado purees (Commodity) describes branded and specialty produce items procured by state and local food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is sparse and does not align clearly with the code's nominal scope. The state and local opportunities posted in the recent period show that public agencies and school districts are actively soliciting consumable food products—including canned tomatoes, potatoes, proteins, dairy, produce, and prepared foods—primarily through IFBs and informal written quotes for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards and school districts (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The scale of these procurements ranges from approximately 1,062 cases (Gwinnett County) to over 7,600 cases (Oregon ODOC canned tomatoes) and extends to hundreds of line items across multiple food categories supporting cafeterias, canteens, nutrition programs, and on-campus food service operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026), with a historical annual value of $1.5 million covering fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products; Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta (quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case in the prior February 2026 award (bids due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive grocery procurement across produce, meat, dairy, and dry goods (bids due June 15, 2026); and the Texas Comptroller's IFB on behalf of TDCJ for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). Delivery typically occurs FOB Destination within 7 to 30 days of order, and most school and institutional food service contracts run one year with renewal or extension options available.
