UNSPSC 50621743: Non GMO leona linda avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO leona linda 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 50621743 Non GMO Leona Linda avocado purees is a Commodity code that nominally addresses branded or specialty avocado products, but the recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct alignment with the code's stated scope. The most recent opportunities posted under 50621743 involve broad consumable food procurement—prepared foods, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, canned goods, and food service supplies—by state health and human services agencies, county social service departments, school nutrition programs, and corrections facilities. The actual buying activity reflects general institutional food service contracting rather than specialty avocado purees. State and local procurement offices are issuing this code to cover comprehensive food supply agreements where avocado purees or similar specialty items may appear as line items within a larger food services basket rather than as the primary focus.

Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has posted multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and state hospitals), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), the State of Illinois, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017872 for consumables and noncontract food and kitchen items at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026), covering 20 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with estimated annual usage of 1 to 24 cases per item; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces (quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (bids due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across multiple categories with Buy American Act compliance required (bids due June 15, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations from Illinois and nationwide institutional buyers. The code shows recent activity primarily in the South and Pacific Northwest, reflecting state and local demand for food service supply agreements rather than specialty branded products.
