UNSPSC 50581779: Non GMO wurtz avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO wurtz 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 50581779 Non GMO Wurtz Avocados is a Commodity code that spans fresh produce procurement, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct activity under this specific code. The few opportunities posted reveal a broader produce-supply market where state and local bodies—counties, school districts, and health-care coalitions—purchase fresh fruits and vegetables for food service, institutional feeding, and concession operations. School districts source produce as part of National School Lunch and Breakfast Program procurement; county parks departments and health systems procure produce for food-service operations; and state agencies coordinate commodity procurement across multiple end-use categories. Issuing bodies range from county parks and recreation divisions managing concession facilities to school boards running multi-school feeding programs and health-care coalitions supporting institutional meal service. A local-vendor preference commonly appears in county-level solicitations, with scoring bonuses for vendors meeting permanent-business-address and employee-residency criteria.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and state-level procurement channels. Collier County, Florida issued an ITN for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025), with the vendor selection criteria spanning menu variety, food-safety compliance, and local-vendor preference. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought produce vendors for the 2026-2027 period (due August 21, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026). Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch Program items including produce, meats, dairy, and non-food supplies (due June 8, 2026), emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations with firm pricing good for 15 days post-award and provisions for price escalation or de-escalation on a six-month basis. School districts and county food-service programs typically bundle produce with broader commodity categories rather than solicit avocados as a discrete line item; opportunities under this specific code may be infrequent or tagged inconsistently.
