UNSPSC 50621768: Non GMO semil 43 avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO semil 43 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 50621768 Non GMO semil 43 avocado purees is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's title references a specific avocado product variant, yet the recent opportunities posted under this designation involve broad-based food and consumable procurement for institutional feeding programs, including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, proteins, dairy products, and prepared foods for schools, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and veterans homes. State and local buyers posting under this code span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and county boards of education across multiple states. School nutrition programs and institutional food service represent the dominant issuing body mix, with school districts appearing in roughly two-thirds of the opportunities sampled and recurring buyers including Texas HHSC, Oregon Corrections, and Georgia school systems.

The geographic concentration reflects activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with Texas and Georgia accounting for the majority of recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); Ben Hill County Schools' food procurement IFB (due June 15, 2026, covering multiple categories across four school locations); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026, requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases for delivery to Salem); Rockwood R-VI School District's dual procurements for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products (both due April 29, 2026, covering over 900 and 200 line items respectively); and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). The code's actual use reflects broad-spectrum food procurement for institutional meal service rather than specialty avocado products, suggesting either systematic miscoding across multiple jurisdictions or significant mission creep from the code's nominal definition into generic food distribution contracting.
