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 does not reflect the actual food procurement activity posted under it in state and local solicitations. The code's nominal scope — specialty avocado products — bears no relation to the recent opportunities tagged to it, which solicit shelf-stable staple foods, proteins, frozen goods, dairy, condiments, canned vegetables, and food service consumables for institutional cafeterias, dining programs, and warehouses. The issuing bodies are chiefly state health and human services agencies operating residential treatment centers and supported living facilities, departments of corrections, school districts, and county boards managing nutrition programs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears twice in the recent window (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, El Paso State Supported Living Center), as do Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Gwinnett County also actively solicit food supplies during this period. The geographic center of recent activity lies in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois.

The representative recent opportunities span IFB, IWQ (informal written quote), and sealed-bid notice types with response dates in the May-through-October 2026 window. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a historical annual value of $1.5 million over the prior fiscal year. Ben Hill County Schools posted a food bid (IFB #26271) due June 15, 2026, covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, seafood, dairy, seasonings, bread, ice cream, and kitchen supplies across four school sites. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products with a revised response deadline of May 4, 2026; the scope included proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, baking supplies, canned and fresh vegetables, and staples for TDCJ distribution points statewide. Oregon Department of Corrections requested bids for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem and a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
