UNSPSC 50581723: Non GMO collinson avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO collinson 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 50581723 Non GMO Collinson avocados is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a single produce item — non-GMO Collinson avocados — but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code are broad school nutrition and institutional food service procurements that encompass dozens of fresh produce line items without avocado-specific mentions or quantities. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies have posted RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs for fresh produce supply to child nutrition programs, but none of the visible opportunities isolate or prioritize Collinson avocados as a distinct line item or call-out.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas school districts and county education boards, with additional procurement from Missouri and Florida institutional food service operations. The Georgia opportunities — posted by Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System (through the GEC cooperative), Early County Board of Education, and Bulloch County School District — collectively span February through May 2026, with bids and proposals due March through June 2026. Texas activity includes Northside Independent School District (Bexar County), McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District, all soliciting fresh produce for child nutrition with response dates in March through June 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida posted an RFP on April 13, 2026 (originally due March 11, 2026) for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and the State of Georgia issued multiple fresh-produce ITBs and food service bids in April and May 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri posted a grocery items solicitation on March 31, 2026 with an April 29, 2026 deadline. The code shows no vendor specialization in avocados and no procurement volume data specific to this variety, making pursuit of opportunities under this code impractical without confirmation that avocado content or sourcing is required in a specific upcoming RFP.
