UNSPSC 50621747: Non GMO lula avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO lula 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 50621747 Non GMO lula avocado purees is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement covers shelf-stable and fresh food products distributed through institutional food service operations—though the recent opportunities block shows limited activity directly matching the code's nominal avocado-puree scope. State and local governments soliciting under related food-service codes are primarily health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county boards of commissioners, state departments of corrections, school districts, and state comptroller procurement divisions acting on behalf of correctional facilities and supported living centers. The work being solicited spans consumable foods for institutional canteens, kitchens, and cafeterias; school nutrition programs; and inmate and resident meal service across state-operated facilities. Scope typically encompasses proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service supplies with detailed USDA grade specifications, shelf-life requirements, delivery windows (typically 24 to 72 hours from order), FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, and firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods with renewal options.

Recent opportunities originate from Texas (HHS Commission procuring for Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers in June and August 2026; Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products in May 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in October 2026; Ben Hill County Schools in May 2026; Burke County Public Schools in May 2026), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned tomatoes in June 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat issuer, with IFBs for supplemental foods and consumables statewide (May 2026, contract value $4.5 million over three years) and facility-specific food and consumable products. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (due July 13, 2026, prior period value $1.5 million); Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026); and Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas covering 382 line items (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026). The source does not provide evidence of recent opportunities matching the code's specific avocado-puree profile.
