UNSPSC 50581702: Non GMO arue avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO arue 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 50581702 Non GMO arue avocados (Commodity) describes fresh produce, specifically avocados meeting non-GMO specifications, that state and local governments acquire through food-service procurement for parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other public operations. State and local bodies soliciting under this code span county parks departments, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state food-procurement offices. The work involves direct sourcing of fresh produce meeting quality, food-safety, and delivery standards, typically as line items within broader food-service or cafeteria contracts rather than as standalone produce purchases.

Recent solicitation activity appears concentrated in the Southeast. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to supply diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues; Early County Board of Education in Georgia posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits delivered to three schools; Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-proposals solicitation on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables during the 2026-2027 contract period; and the State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026). The code shows modest recent activity, with produce typically embedded within larger food-service or nutrition-program contracts rather than treated as a specialized commodity line.
