UNSPSC 50581725: Non GMO dr dupuis number 2 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO dr dupuis number 2 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 50581725 Non GMO Dr Dupuis Number 2 Avocados is a Commodity code that identifies a specific fresh produce item, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect that specification. Instead, school districts, county education systems, and state agencies are purchasing fresh produce broadly—apples, bananas, berries, peppers, carrots, leafy greens, tomatoes, citrus, potatoes, eggs, and dozens of other items—to support child nutrition programs, School Breakfast and National School Lunch Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program initiatives. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education across multiple states, with supporting activity from state agencies and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representatives include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), and McAllen Independent School District (Texas), as well as the Douglas County School System procuring on behalf of the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia. Solicitations are structured as RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with response deadlines ranging from March through June 2026, requiring vendors to meet USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, temperature-controlled delivery, and traceability documentation.

The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, which accounts for the majority of recent activity, with significant activity in Texas (Northside ISD in San Antonio, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County). Representative procurements include the Early County Board of Education RFQ for line-by-line food and produce bids due June 8, 2026, serving three schools with approximately 300+ food items and firm prices for a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract; Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 47 schools due May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM CST, evaluating proposers on price (35%), extent of goods meeting needs (25%), quality (15%), long-term cost (10%), and other factors (20%); Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at 18 elementary schools due March 11, 2026, with an estimated budget of $600,000 funded entirely through USDA grant awards; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), proposals due March 4, 2026. The code shows substantial procurement activity but misalignment between the nominal commodity (Dr Dupuis avocados) and actual purchasing practice (broad produce categories and ingredients for institutional feeding programs).
