UNSPSC 50581739: Non GMO k-5 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO k-5 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 50581739 Non GMO K-5 avocados is a Commodity code that does not map cleanly to recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains sixteen recent school district and state produce solicitations posted between February and May 2026, but none specifically name avocados—non-GMO, K-5 certified, or otherwise—as a line item. The solicitations cover broad fresh produce categories (apples, bananas, peppers, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and specialty items) for school nutrition programs and state operations, but avocado procurement either does not appear in the specifications or remains absorbed into generic "fresh produce" or "fruits" line items without commodity-level differentiation.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, Northside ISD in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Bulloch County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham Public Schools, Glynn County Schools, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, and Douglas County Schools participating in a cooperative) and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia for general fresh produce and food supplies). The geographic spread spans Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri, with Georgia appearing most active across multiple district and state RFPs and ITBs. Representative recent opportunities include the Northside ISD RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026) for fresh produce supporting child nutrition across 127 schools, and the Douglas County Schools RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. The code shows little relevant procurement signal for avocados as a distinct commodity; vendors pursuing avocado supply to school districts should monitor category-level produce codes and embedded line-item specifications within broader food-service RFPs rather than expecting commodity-specific solicitations.
