UNSPSC 50581707: Non GMO biondo avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO biondo 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 50581707 Non GMO biondo avocados is a Commodity code representing fresh produce items, specifically specialty avocado varieties, that state and local governments procure for food service operations. The recent opportunities under this code show that state and local issuing bodies are buying fresh fruits and vegetables—including produce staples and specialty items—for school nutrition programs, county parks food concessions, healthcare facilities, and statewide food service procurement. The issuing bodies span school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), health-focused coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). Vendors must meet food safety compliance, USDA sourcing preferences where applicable, freshness guarantees, and delivery timelines to support high-volume institutional food service.
