UNSPSC 50581757: Non GMO nesbitt avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO nesbitt 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 50581757 Non GMO Nesbitt avocados is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single produce item, but recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show little alignment with the specific product name. The state and local activity posted under this code spans broader food-service procurement—park concessions, institutional produce supply, statewide food and kitchen products, and school district lunch-program provisioning—in which avocados (GMO status unspecified in the opportunities) may be among dozens of line items rather than the primary focus. The issuing bodies include counties (Collier County), health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), state governments (Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The mix reflects fragmented demand across park operations, institutional foodservice, and K–12 nutrition programs rather than targeted procurement of a specialty produce item.

Recent activity appears in Florida, Georgia, and associated regional jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners soliciting food-service proposals via Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, emphasizing menu variety and local-vendor preferences; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply across three schools, with approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits; and the State of Georgia requesting bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The Marion Health Care Coalition likewise sought produce vendor proposals due August 21, 2026. The code shows active but generalist foodservice purchasing rather than dedicated demand for non-GMO avocados as a differentiated product.
