UNSPSC 50581709: Non GMO blair avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO blair 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 50581709 Non GMO blair avocados, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce items — specifically avocados and similar fresh fruits and vegetables — that state and local governments procure for food service operations. The recent opportunities under this code show solicitations from county recreation departments, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices seeking produce vendors to supply dining and concession facilities. The scope encompasses fresh produce delivery with compliance to food safety standards, quality specifications, and seasonal pricing adjustments, with vendors typically bearing responsibility for transportation, storage, and temperature maintenance to final delivery points.

The issuing bodies are diverse: county parks and recreation divisions, independent school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare organizations. Early County Board of Education in Georgia and Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida appear as active recent buyers. Recent opportunities include Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025; Marion Health Care Coalition's RFQ for produce vendors with proposals due August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia's bid solicitation for food and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ food items with bids due June 8, 2026. Geographic activity centers on Florida and Georgia, with broader state-level procurement activity in Georgia. The Early County solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with firm pricing for 15 days from award and escalation or de-escalation reviewed on a six-month basis supported by USDA or CPI data.
