UNSPSC 50581764: Non GMO rue avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO rue 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 50581764, Non GMO rue avocados, is a Commodity code that shows negligible recent procurement activity among state and local governments. The code nominal scope describes a single fresh-produce item — non-GMO rue avocados — yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting this commodity. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad fresh-produce and school-nutrition food-service categories that encompass dozens of produce line items including apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, eggs, and prepared produce, but do not isolate non-GMO avocados or avocados of any type as a distinct line item or performance requirement. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple independent school districts, county school systems, and one state department of education soliciting fresh-produce contracts for child nutrition services; Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, 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, Austin Independent School District, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District all issued RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs between February and June 2026 for produce procurement supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations.

Georgia school districts account for the majority of the recent activity, with solicitations from Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County (in cooperative procurement spanning 30 districts across two areas), followed by Texas districts (Northside Independent, McAllen, Austin), Florida's Hillsborough County, and Missouri's Rockwood R-VI. Recent representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for 300+ items across meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains due June 8, 2026; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant fresh produce due May 7, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for approximately 72 produce line items and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026. The code itself appears mismatched to the actual procurement activity; vendors pursuing fresh-produce contracts with school districts and state agencies should focus on the broader produce-family codes that capture institutional fruit and vegetable sourcing rather than this commodity-level specification.
