UNSPSC 50581704: Non GMO benik avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO benik 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 50581704 Non GMO benik avocados is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities solicited under this code do not focus on non-GMO benik avocados or avocados as a distinct product line; instead, they target broad fresh produce and food service categories that may incidentally include avocados as one commodity among dozens of fruits, vegetables, and other food items. State and local jurisdictions soliciting fresh produce for school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and food operations are acquiring apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, eggs, dairy, grains, and prepared foods through school districts, county boards of education, and state purchasing offices. The issuing bodies reflect the educational focus: Northside Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Bulloch County School District in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Glynn County Board of Education in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and the State of Georgia itself for state operations and the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, where the majority of recent solicitations cluster, with secondary activity in Texas (San Antonio, McAllen, Austin), Florida (Tampa), and Missouri (St. Louis area). Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's RFP for food vendors due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for school breakfast and lunch programs; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026, requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown produce prioritization; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program due March 11, 2026, seeking specialty fruits and vegetables in pre-cut cases for elementary students; and the State of Georgia's IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce due May 27, 2026, supporting state operations. These solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, delivery within narrow time windows, and firm pricing with limited cost-adjustment mechanisms. The code shows no identifiable recent activity specifically targeting non-GMO benik avocados as a standalone procurement.
