UNSPSC 50591763: Dried Non GMO reed avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO reed 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 50591763 Dried Non GMO reed avocados is a Commodity code that in practice covers fresh and processed produce items procured by school districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal food service operations to supply school meal programs, senior nutrition initiatives, and institutional food service. State and local procurement under this code centers on bulk fresh produce and packaged meal components meeting USDA Buy American provisions, nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and delivery requirements to multiple school or institutional sites. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (purchasing for breakfast and lunch programs), county boards of education, state health and human services commissions operating residential care facilities, county commissioners' offices funding senior meal programs, and municipal departments procuring for school nutrition services. School districts dominate the recent opportunity volume, with produce specifications including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons, and leafy greens; contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 across a school fiscal year and require firm pricing with no fuel surcharges, HACCP compliance documentation, and delivery to multiple sites on standard pallets with 24-hour emergency backup stock availability.
