UNSPSC 50581759: Non GMO pinelli avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO pinelli 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 50581759 Non GMO pinelli avocados, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—non-GMO pinelli avocados, a highly specific produce item—bears no relation to the institutional fresh produce and food service solicitations documented in recent opportunities. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri are actively procuring fresh produce for child nutrition programs, but those solicitations request broad commodity categories (apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, peppers, eggs, and seasonal fruit mixes) rather than a single varietal. The Early County Board of Education IFB for FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026), Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce in San Antonio (due May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools FFVP procurement in Tampa (due March 11, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts in Georgia (due March 4, 2026) all reflect demand for mixed-case quantities of widely available produce, not single-varietal specialty items.

The code shows no recent solicitation activity targeting non-GMO pinelli avocados specifically. Issuing bodies remain predominantly school districts and county boards of education soliciting through IFB, RFP, and ITB notices with delivery requirements to multiple school sites, USDA Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and Buy American provisions emphasizing domestic commodity sourcing. Geographic concentration spans Georgia heavily (Liberty County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County), with secondary activity in Texas (Northside ISD, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County), along with Missouri activity from Rockwood R-VI School District. Award values for multi-district cooperative procurements reach into millions—the Douglas County GEC cooperative estimated approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two—but opportunities remain grounded in high-volume staple items rather than specialty varietals. Unless procurement documents are being tagged incorrectly at the source, this code appears inactive for state and local government purchasing and warrants low priority.
