UNSPSC 50581727: Non GMO ettinger avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO ettinger 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 50581727 Non GMO Ettinger avocados is a Commodity code covering fresh produce supplied to state and local food service operations. The recent opportunities show a broad spectrum of food procurement activity, but none of the three recent solicitations explicitly identifies non-GMO avocados as a line item or focuses narrowly on the produce category — instead, the code appears in the context of larger food-service scopes spanning produce, prepared foods, dairy, bread, and non-food supplies. The Early County Board of Education IFB (June 8, 2026) itemizes approximately 300+ food products including vegetables and fruits as part of its National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program procurement; the Marion Health Care Coalition RFP (August 21, 2026) solicits fresh fruits and vegetables more broadly; and the Collier County ITN (March 6, 2025) seeks a qualified food vendor to operate concessions across multiple park venues with no breakout for specific commodity lines. Issuing bodies include school districts, county governments, and specialized local entities (health-care coalitions).

Activity is geographically dispersed across at least three states — Georgia (state-level procurement), Florida (Collier County), and unspecified states where Early County Schools and Marion Health Care Coalition operate. The Early County Board of Education IFB represents the most granular food procurement visible under this code, with line-by-line bidding and emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; however, that solicitation does not single out non-GMO avocados by name. No recent opportunity in the source explicitly matches the non-GMO avocado specification; the code appears to have been assigned to broader produce or food-service categories rather than to a discrete avocado-supply opportunity. Business development activity under this code should assume that avocado supply is one line item within large multi-commodity food RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs targeting school nutrition programs, park concessions, and health-care food service.
