UNSPSC 50581717: Non GMO brookslate avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO brookslate 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 50581717 Non GMO brookslate avocados (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within fresh produce procurement by state and local food service operations—specifically non-GMO avocados of the brookslate variety. However, recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity explicitly tied to the narrowly specified commodity; the opportunities posted instead span broader produce and food-service procurement where avocados may be one line item among many. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting a food-service vendor for North Collier Regional Park via ITN due March 6, 2025, requiring diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues. Early County Board of Education is requesting line-by-line food bids for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools via IFB due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits. The Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-vendor RFP due August 21, 2026, for fresh fruits and vegetables according to operational needs. The State of Georgia issued a broader food-supplies and kitchen-products bid due June 22, 2026. These opportunities span county parks and recreation, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices.

Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in Georgia and Florida, with representation from county boards of education, county parks and recreation divisions, and state procurement. The code's narrow commodity specification (brookslate avocados, non-GMO) does not align closely with the actual scope of recent posted opportunities, which frame procurement in terms of general produce categories, mixed food-service menus, or school nutrition programs rather than specific avocado varieties. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should treat it as a granular line item within broader produce or food-service awards and expect to compete on pricing, delivery compliance, food-safety certification, and compliance with Buy American and nutritional standards where applicable. The small number of directly relevant recent opportunities suggests limited activity specifically driving non-GMO brookslate avocado procurement at the state and local level.
