UNSPSC 50581720: Non GMO chica avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO chica 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 50581720 Non GMO chica avocados is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity specifically aligned to this product line. The code appears to see little direct solicitation; the source contains no recent opportunities explicitly requesting chica avocados or non-GMO avocado products by name or specification. While the source includes multiple school nutrition and produce procurement opportunities from state agencies, counties, and school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, none of these solicitations identify avocados—GMO or non-GMO, chica or standard varieties—as a named line item or required commodity. The closest activity involves broad fresh produce procurements (apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, and eggs) serving school nutrition programs, but these do not narrow to avocado sourcing and do not specify non-GMO status or chica cultivars.

State and local governments procure produce through school nutrition programs serving elementary and secondary students, typically in RFP or IFB format with weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites. Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Schools (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Austin ISD (Texas), and Rockwood School District (Missouri) have all posted fresh produce solicitations since February 2026 with response dates ranging from March through June 2026. These solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, USDA Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and alignment with child nutrition standards—signals relevant to any fresh fruit supplier—but none name avocados or reference non-GMO status as a procurement driver. If avocado demand exists in state and local nutrition procurement, it does not surface in current competitive opportunities under this code.
