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, in recent state and local solicitations, appears as a tagged category within broader food-service and produce-procurement efforts rather than as a standalone product line. The three recent opportunities show food vendors and public agencies soliciting produce generally—including fresh fruits and vegetables—through school districts, county parks departments, health-care coalitions, and state procurement offices. The scope of work under this code in practice encompasses fresh produce delivery to institutional food-service operations, with emphasis on food-safety compliance, seasonal availability management, USDA sourcing preferences where applicable, and cost management tied to commodity-price indices. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (running National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs), county parks and recreation departments operating concession facilities, state procurement offices, and health-care organizations; school districts appear as repeat institutional buyers of produce and food items under similar line-item bid structures.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and Marion County (location unspecified in the MHCC record). The Early County Board of Education issued an IFB for line-by-line food and produce bids due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits delivered to three schools with domestic sourcing and whole-grain preferences specified. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. The Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals for 2026-2027 with bids due August 21, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The code shows consistent activity among school districts and county-level food-service operators but limited evidence of procurements specifically targeting non-GMO Gorham avocados as a distinct line item.
