UNSPSC 50581731: Non GMO gorham avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO gorham 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 50581731 Non GMO Gorham avocados is a Commodity code that does not reflect meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—specialty fresh avocados with non-GMO certification—aligns with the produce categories referenced in school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations, but recent opportunities tagged under this code show no actual procurement of the product itself. The dominant pattern across recent state and local RFPs and ITBs is institutional fresh produce sourcing for school nutrition programs, and when avocados appear, they are subsumed in broader fresh fruit categories rather than specified as a line item or contract driver. The source material contains no evidence of dedicated procurement efforts, vendor competition, or award activity tied specifically to non-GMO Gorham avocados at the state, county, or school district level.

Recent institutional produce procurement activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas school districts and county systems pursuing fresh fruit and vegetable contracts for child nutrition programs under RFP and ITB vehicles. Notable repeat buyers include multiple Georgia school districts—Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System—along with the Douglas County School System administering a multi-district cooperative buy for 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Outside Georgia, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas, and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida, are active in fresh produce sourcing. Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County School District in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, and Austin Independent School District in Texas are also soliciting produce. The activity reflects standard school nutrition compliance requirements—USDA Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and delivery logistics tied to school calendars running July through June. This code remains inactive for specialized avocado procurement purposes; pursue only if your firm has existing institutional produce distribution capability and can compete on line-item pricing within broader school district RFPs.
