UNSPSC 50581740: Non GMO k-9 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO k-9 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 50581740 Non GMO k-9 avocados is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code shows no relevant solicitations in the recent opportunities block—posting records reference fresh produce procurement broadly (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, and eggs across multiple school districts and state operations), but none specifically target avocados, GMO-status specification, or products matching the code's narrow definition. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the opportunities actually posted suggests that state and local buyers either classify avocado purchases under broader fresh produce codes or do not procure them at sufficient volume to warrant standalone solicitation.

School districts and county school systems across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida represent the primary buyers in the recent produce procurement activity block, though their current opportunities do not align with this code's scope. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) is managing a cooperative buying arrangement (GEC) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in one geographic area, and Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (Texas) is seeking fresh produce via RFP 2026-048 with delivery requirements beginning August 10, 2026—both examples show institutional scale, but neither identifies avocados as a line item. If pursuing this code, monitor school nutrition RFPs in major districts for produce categories; avocado procurement, when it occurs, typically appears as an optional item within broader fresh-fruit line-item awards rather than as a standalone contract driver.
