UNSPSC 50581758: Non GMO peterson avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO peterson 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 50581758 Non GMO Peterson avocados is a Commodity code naming a single produce item. State and local governments buying under this code are procuring fresh avocados as part of broader child nutrition and institutional food service contracts, typically bundled within larger produce or grocery RFPs and IFBs serving school districts. The recent opportunities show avocados appearing as line items in comprehensive fresh-produce solicitations for school meal programs, student nutrition services, and farm-to-school initiatives. Issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and school nutrition programs—Early County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District—along with a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative procuring on behalf of 30 Georgia school districts). No state agencies or county governments outside the education sector appear in the recent activity for this specific commodity.

The code shows concentrated activity in Georgia and Texas. Georgia school districts account for the largest share of recent solicitations, including postings from Liberty County (due April 29, 2026), Glynn County (due April 14, 2026), Muscogee County (due April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County (due April 23, 2026), Early County (due June 8, 2026), and the GEC multi-district cooperative (due March 4, 2026). Texas school districts are the secondary cluster, with Austin ISD (due March 11, 2026) and McAllen ISD (due March 6, 2026) active in the source window. Florida (Hillsborough County, due March 11, 2026) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, due April 29, 2026) show limited activity. All recent opportunities are RFPs or IFBs with response deadlines between March and June 2026. Avocados are not explicitly itemized in the summary text of most solicitations reviewed, reflecting the commodity-level specificity of this code—they appear as line items within the detailed produce specifications documents attached to the parent RFPs, not as standalone procurement vehicles.
