UNSPSC 50581749: Non GMO marcus avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO marcus 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 50581749 Non GMO marcus avocados (Commodity) covers fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, specifically avocados and related fresh fruits and vegetables sourced for food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other public institutions. The scope encompasses both standalone produce contracts and food-service procurement that includes fresh produce as a line item within broader food and supplies solicitations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (purchasing for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs), county governments and parks departments (managing food concessions and park operations), state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions serving member institutions.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid in June 2026 that included vegetables and fruits among 300+ food items for three schools over the 2026–2027 school year. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025 (note: posted date precedes due date in source), which requires diverse food and beverage options including produce sourcing. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) solicited produce proposals in August 2026 for the 2026–2027 fiscal period. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026. School districts and county governments represent the primary recent activity, with Florida and Georgia showing notable concentration in the recent-opportunity block.
