UNSPSC 50621736: Non GMO haas avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO haas 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 50621736 Non GMO Haas avocado purees, a Commodity code, rarely appears in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty avocado products with specific non-GMO certification—does not align with the broad food-service procurement opportunities actively posted across jurisdictions. Instead, state and local governments are soliciting bids for general grocery and food-service supplies, fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods in bulk quantities for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The recent opportunities block contains no bids or RFQs specifically for avocado purees or products matching this commodity code's description.

The mismatch between code and purchasing activity suggests this code sees minimal current activity. If a vendor pursues food-service contracts with state and local agencies—school districts, state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, or institutional cafeteria systems—the relevant procurement categories are broader family or class codes encompassing general grocery procurement (such as canned goods, fresh produce, or prepared foods), not commodity-level specifications for specialty products like non-GMO avocado purees. Vendors supplying institutional food service in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia should monitor family-level produce and specialty-foods codes rather than this specific commodity code.
