UNSPSC 50581737: Non GMO herman avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO herman 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 50581737 Non GMO herman avocados (Commodity) captures fresh produce sourcing by state and local jurisdictions, though recent opportunities under this code span general food service provisioning rather than avocados specifically. State and local governments buy fresh fruits and vegetables, produce delivery, and related food-service supplies through this taxonomy code, often as part of broader food-service contracts or dedicated produce procurement vehicles. Issuing bodies include county governments, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids covering vegetables, fruits, and produce as part of National School Lunch Program operations; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at regional parks requiring diverse produce and beverage options; Marion Health Care Coalition sought qualified produce vendors for the 2026–2027 fiscal period; and the State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products with scope details in an attachment.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with Georgia and Florida posting opportunities in mid-2026. Early County Board of Education's bid closed June 8, 2026, Marion Health Care Coalition's closed August 21, 2026, the State of Georgia's closed June 22, 2026, and Collier County's ITN closes March 6, 2025 (note: this due date appears inconsistent with the October 8, 2026 posting date and may reflect a data entry error in the source). School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; contracts typically run one fiscal or calendar year with renewal options. A 10-point local-vendor preference applies in Collier County for permanent business addresses and employees meeting residency criteria. The code shows fragmented issuing bodies across education, parks, healthcare, and state-level procurement, suggesting opportunities are issue-driven rather than consolidated.
