UNSPSC 50581711: Non GMO booth 1 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO booth 1 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 50581711 Non GMO booth 1 avocados (Commodity) covers fresh fruit procurement, specifically non-GMO avocados, solicited by state and local buyers for food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and institutional kitchens. The recent opportunities show that state and local governments purchase produce — including fresh fruits and vegetables — through competitive bidding processes to support cafeteria operations, concession services, and meal programs. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, school boards, state purchasing offices, and healthcare coalitions. The work involves vendor qualification on product quality, food safety compliance, delivery scheduling, pricing, and adherence to sourcing preferences such as domestic origin and non-GMO certification where specified.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and regional healthcare procurement. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, which includes concession sales requiring fresh produce; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for school lunch and breakfast programs; Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought produce vendor proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period; and the State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. School districts and county governments dominate the issuing-body mix, with healthcare and parks operations as secondary buyers. Vendors competing under this code should expect line-item pricing, compliance with USDA nutrition standards, Buy American and domestic-sourcing preferences, food safety and recall documentation, and firm pricing terms tied to index-based adjustments.
