UNSPSC 50621739: Non GMO k-5 avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO k-5 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 50621739 Non GMO K-5 avocado purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement, though recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show sparse direct relevance. The code nominally describes non-GMO avocado purees intended for K-5 school meal programs, but the recent opportunities recorded under it—including quarterly food orders from Illinois, supplemental food and consumable products from Texas health agencies, canned tomatoes from Oregon corrections, and comprehensive school nutrition procurements from Georgia and Missouri—encompass broad categories of food products (proteins, dairy, produce, canned goods, condiments, prepared foods) rather than avocado purees specifically. Issuing bodies active under this code are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and transit or institutional authorities. The mix suggests that institutional food service procurement—driven by meal-volume requirements across multiple sites and federal nutrition compliance mandates—drives the bulk of activity rather than specialty ingredient sourcing.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast, particularly Georgia (multiple school districts including Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Burke County, and Douglas County), Texas (HHSC and Department of State Health Services statewide), and the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri). Oregon corrections procurement and broader state agency procurement in Georgia round out the recent posting base. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting 210 line items of supplemental food and consumable products (fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated items including proteins, dairy, bakery, and supplies) for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a response deadline of July 13, 2026, under IFB HHS0017449; the Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program issuing an IFB for food products across multiple categories with sealed bids due June 15, 2026; and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual value of $9,000,000. The code's sparse direct alignment with avocado purees specifically suggests that state and local procurement offices are either tagging broad institutional food buys with an overly narrow commodity code or that avocado purees see minimal standalone demand under school meal programs—a signal worth monitoring for broader shifts toward plant-based or specialty ingredient adoption in institutional nutrition.
