UNSPSC 50621738: Non GMO hickson avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO hickson 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 50621738 Non GMO hickson avocado purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as specialty food ingredients for institutional food service operations, though recent activity under this code is minimal and the available opportunities show limited direct relevance to the commodity's specific name. The code appears in state and local procurement across school nutrition programs, state agency cafeterias, and health and human services facilities, but the recent solicitations tagged with this code predominantly address broad-based food procurement rather than specialized avocado puree sourcing. School districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and state veterans' homes represent the primary issuing-body mix, with school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations forming the core customer base. These entities typically solicit through IFB, RFP, or RFQ mechanisms for multi-category food supply contracts encompassing proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared items rather than single-commodity specialty ingredients.

Recent activity under UNSPSC 50621738 appears concentrated in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri). Representative recent opportunities include the Ben Hill County Schools Food Bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), which encompasses fresh and frozen produce, meats, dairy, seasonings, and condiments across four school locations; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products procurement for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with historical spend of $1.5 million); and the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, with 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case historical pricing). The State of Illinois Veterans Home Quincy has issued quarterly food orders (RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) covering 24 line items. These solicitations reveal that institutional food service procurement under this code emphasizes volume purchasing of shelf-stable and refrigerated staples, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, firm fixed pricing with optional mid-term adjustments tied to CPI or manufacturer price changes, and weekly or monthly delivery to multiple locations. Specialty ingredients like non-GMO avocado purees do not appear prominently in the recent activity; broader food supply contracts dominate the procurement landscape under this code.
