UNSPSC 50581753: Non GMO monroe avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO monroe 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 50581753 Non GMO Monroe Avocados (Commodity) represents a narrow produce subcategory within state and local food procurement, though the recent opportunities do not isolate non-GMO Monroe avocados as a distinct line item. State and local governments procure fresh produce — including avocados — primarily through school districts' National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts, regional park concession operations, and healthcare or institutional food-service vendors. Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 bid solicitation exemplifies the school-district activity under this code tier: the district requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including fresh fruits and vegetables, with domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain and low-sodium emphasis. Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited food and beverage concession services for North Collier Regional Park via Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to provide diverse fresh food options across multiple venues. Health systems and coalitions also purchase fresh produce; Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce bid due August 21, 2026 covering fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. The issuing bodies span school districts, counties, and healthcare coalitions rather than state departments.

The recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia and Florida, with Early County Schools and the State of Georgia posting in May 2026 and Collier County and Marion Health Care Coalition posting in August and October 2026. School districts dominate the issuing body mix, followed by county parks and recreation and healthcare entities. Because the non-GMO Monroe avocado specification is a commodity-level detail within broader fresh-produce procurement, vendors pursuing this code should track school-district RFQ and IFB cycles, which typically run spring through early summer for July–June fiscal-year contracts, and monitor county-level concession and food-service solicitations. The code does not appear in standalone produce solicitations; instead, avocados are likely listed as one line item within larger produce or food-service bids.
