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 tracking fresh produce procurement by state and local agencies, primarily school districts and regional facilities. The recent opportunities solicited under this code show a mix of produce sourcing — fresh fruits and vegetables for school meal programs, regional park food services, and healthcare facility nutrition operations. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs), county parks and recreation divisions, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. Work solicited ranges from line-item food bids for multiple schools specifying domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain/low-sodium formulations, to open produce vendor proposals for healthcare facilities, to concession food service contracts at regional parks. Vendors must meet food safety compliance, USDA program requirements where applicable, HACCP plans, product freshness guarantees, and liability insurance thresholds typically at $500,000 general liability minimum.
