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 is a Commodity code that does not reflect meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The posted opportunities tagged with this code show no connection to avocado procurement—instead, they document school nutrition programs sourcing fresh produce broadly (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, leafy greens, berries, citrus, potatoes, eggs), state institutional food service buys for general grocery items and kitchen products, and specialized programs such as the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving elementary students. The code's narrow commodity focus on a single product variety does not align with the multi-line procurement activity that appears under it.

School districts and school nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix—including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and a multi-district cooperative through Douglas County School System—along with occasional state-level procurement by the State of Georgia. The geographic spread centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026), the Early County Board of Education line-item food bid (due June 8, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables (due March 11, 2026). The code appears misapplied to these broad institutional food sourcing efforts and signals minimal pursuit opportunity for vendors focused exclusively on non-GMO brookslate avocado supply.
