UNSPSC 50581715: Non GMO booth 8 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO booth 8 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 50581715 Non GMO booth 8 avocados is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty avocados meeting organic or non-GMO specifications—does not align with the solicitation activity indexed under it. The source contains one recent opportunity tagged to this code: a May 2026 Georgia state procurement for broad food, supplies, and kitchen products (solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009) that does not isolate avocados or specialty produce lines.

The remaining fourteen opportunities in the source describe state and local school districts, county boards of education, and regional systems across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida soliciting fresh produce, produce and eggs, and child nutrition items through RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs. Those opportunities—including McAllen ISD (RFP 2026-1029, March 2026), Northside ISD in Texas (RFP 2026-048, May 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools (RFP 26039RFPDST, April 2026), and multiple Georgia school nutrition programs—focus on volume produce supply for institutional meal service, farm-to-school programs, and federal child nutrition initiatives. None of those solicitations emphasize specialty avocado sourcing or non-GMO specification. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local purchasing patterns for fresh produce, which cluster instead under broader produce families serving school lunch programs, breakfast programs, and farm-to-school initiatives rather than specialty fruit line items.
