UNSPSC 50581713: Non GMO booth 5 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO booth 5 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 50581713 Non GMO booth 5 avocados, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span general food-service contracting, produce sourcing, and school nutrition programs — work that encompasses meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous food items rather than a single avocado product line. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, state procurement offices, and school districts, with purchasing driven by food-service operations, national school lunch and breakfast programs, and regional health-care facility needs. The scope varies from competitive concession-food operations at regional parks to bulk produce procurement for health-care facilities to comprehensive food-and-supplies bidding for school nutrition programs, with vendors expected to meet food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, volume requirements, and in some cases domestic sourcing preferences or USDA regulatory standards.

Recent activity spans multiple states and procurement types. Collier County, Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025 and evaluation criteria including vendor qualifications, menu variety, food-safety compliance, and a 10-point local-vendor preference. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a request for bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food and paper supplies to support school nutrition programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract performance through June 30, 2027. The code shows minimal recent activity focused specifically on non-GMO avocados; the mismatch between the code name and actual solicitations suggests tagging inconsistency rather than meaningful market demand concentrated under this commodity.
