UNSPSC 50621773: Non GMO tower avocado purees

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO tower 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 50621773 Non GMO tower avocado purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts—though recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly feature general grocery and produce procurement rather than avocado purees specifically. The actual buying activity centers on institutional food service for school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), 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, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County School District), and one county corrections system. School districts dominate the recent opportunity mix, with repeated solicitations from Georgia school systems for multi-year food service contracts supporting hundreds of line items per bid. Food products actually being solicited include fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods delivered weekly or on-demand to multiple school sites, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and veterans' homes.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with responses due July 13, 2026 (historical value approximately $1.5 million annually); the Douglas County School System issuing RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools with an estimated $9 million annual expenditure and proposals due February 18, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens with bids due April 27, 2026; and multiple Georgia school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County) soliciting fresh produce and grocery contracts with firm fixed pricing and competitive line-item award structures. The code shows little recent activity specific to avocado purees; tagging appears to reflect broader food product classification rather than targeted procurement of this commodity.
