UNSPSC 50581770: Non GMO simpson avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO simpson 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 50581770 Non GMO Simpson avocados, a Commodity code, does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The single code-specific product—non-GMO Simpson avocados—appears to be a narrowly defined agricultural commodity that state and local buyers have not solicited explicitly in the recent opportunities block. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broad fresh-produce and school-nutrition procurement across multiple fruit and vegetable categories, not Simpson avocados or non-GMO-specific sourcing mandates.

The code shows activity from school districts and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri procuring comprehensive fresh-produce and food-service contracts for child nutrition programs. Representative recent solicitations include the Early County Board of Education (RFP, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; Hillsborough County Public Schools, Tampa, Florida (RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026) for specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving approximately 18 elementary schools; Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026) for fresh produce and beverages across multiple locations; and the Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 via GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026) for approximately 72 produce line items serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. None of these solicitations specifically call for Simpson avocados or non-GMO certification as distinguishing requirements. The code's nominal scope does not align with the recent activity actually being purchased, and pursuing this code for Simpson avocados would require demonstrating that state and local buyers have adopted non-GMO sourcing requirements that the recent opportunities block does not support.
