UNSPSC 50581777: Non GMO wagner avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO wagner 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 50581777 Non GMO Wagner avocados (Commodity) encompasses fresh produce supplied to state and local food service operations, though recent solicitations reveal that state and local governments procure produce broadly — including fresh fruits and vegetables, specialty items, and complete food-supply bundles — rather than single avocado varieties. Issuing bodies span county parks and recreation divisions, school districts managing National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, state food-procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division solicited food services for North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities via Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025, emphasizing menu variety and vendor qualifications across multiple dining venues; Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid for approximately 300+ food items including fresh vegetables and fruits for three schools, due June 8, 2026, with domestic-sourcing preferences and specifications for whole-grain, low-sodium, and additive-free products.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with solicitations posted from Florida (Collier County), Georgia (state-level and Early County Schools), and Marion Health Care Coalition (presumed Florida-based, though the source does not specify the coalition's location). Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026, for the 2026-2027 contract period with delivery and freshness guarantees. The State of Georgia posted a request for bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. School districts and county parks emphasize compliance with food-safety regulations, HACCP plans, Buy American provisions where applicable, and liability insurance; pricing is typically firm for 15 days from award, with escalation provisions tied to USDA or consumer price data. The code shows active recent procurement but primarily as one line item within larger food and supplies bundles rather than as a standalone specialty item.
