UNSPSC 50581745: Non GMO lisa loretta avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO lisa loretta 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 50581745 Non GMO lisa loretta avocados is a Commodity code, but the source provides no recent state and local opportunities directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The fourteen opportunities posted between February and June 2026 span fresh produce procurement by school districts, state education agencies, and county school systems across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida—but none specify avocados as a line item, and no opportunity mentions the "lisa loretta" variety or non-GMO designation. The solicitations name representative produce items (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, berries, citrus, potatoes, and eggs) and emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and domestic sourcing preferences, but avocados do not appear in the detailed scope documents or estimated quantities cited.

State and local procurement activity in fresh produce is concentrated in school nutrition programs, with the Early County Board of Education (Georgia IFB, June 8, 2026 response), Northside Independent School District (Texas RFP 2026-048, May 7, 2026 response), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida RFP, March 11, 2026 response), and the Douglas County School System cooperating procurement (Georgia RFP SN 26-004, March 4, 2026 response) exemplifying current institutional demand. The Douglas County cooperative aggregates procurement across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, followed by Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Missouri. The absence of avocado-specific line items in these solicitations suggests the commodity code may be misaligned with actual state and local buying patterns in school nutrition or that avocados represent a negligible volume within broader fresh-produce contracts. Monitor school district RFPs and cooperative purchasing vehicles for produce categories, but treat this code as inactive for current pursuit unless commissary or institutional foodservice buyers begin segregating specialty fruits into line-item awards.
