UNSPSC 50591735: Dried Non GMO hardee avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO hardee avocados that have been dried for preservation. 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 50591735 Dried Non-GMO Hardee Avocados (Commodity) covers specialty dried fruit products for school nutrition programs and state-supported facilities, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code focus primarily on fresh produce and broader grocery categories rather than dried avocados specifically. State and local governments buying under this code tier include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commission nutrition programs. The work solicited spans fresh produce procurement for school meal service, senior nutrition programs, and facility food service operations, with vendors expected to meet Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety standards, nutritional compliance certifications, and delivery logistics to multiple school or facility sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.
