UNSPSC 50621765: Non GMO ruehle avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO ruehle 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 50621765 Non GMO Ruehle Avocado Purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity the source displays. The recent opportunities solicited under this code—quarterly food orders for state veterans homes, food service for state supported living centers, canned tomatoes and tomato paste for correctional facilities, and comprehensive grocery and fresh produce contracts for school districts—center on broad food procurement, particularly proteins, produce, dairy, and dry goods in bulk quantities for institutional feeding operations. None of the posted solicitations specifically seek avocado purees, non-GMO or otherwise, suggesting either a classification mismatch or minimal recent activity tied to this particular commodity.

State and local food procurement originates from diverse issuing bodies: school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Ben Hill County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Burke County in Georgia; Douglas County in Georgia) dominate the recent notices, alongside state departments and agencies (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy; Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Oregon Department of Corrections) and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). These jurisdictions issue primarily IFBs and RFPs with response dates ranging from late February through late June 2026, with contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30 the following year. Geographic spread concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, reflecting institutional food service demand across corrections, state hospitals, supported living centers, and K-12 nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract serving 45 schools across two delivery sections (due April 27, 2026). The code shows no recent relevant activity for avocado purees specifically; prospectors should verify categorization before committing resources.
