UNSPSC 50601700: Frozen Non GMO avocados

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO avocados that has been frozen 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 50601700 Frozen Non-GMO Avocados is a Class code that nominally addresses specialty frozen fruit procurement, but the recent state and local opportunities filed under this code show little activity directly aligned with frozen avocados. Instead, the code tags a broad range of school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations spanning fresh produce, eggs, dairy, frozen and grocery items, spices, and ancillary supplies. State and local governments procuring under this code path are predominantly school districts and county school systems—including Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas)—supplemented by state agencies such as the State of Georgia procuring for general operations. The work actually being bought reflects school nutrition program supply chains: fresh produce across 72 line items (apples, bananas, vegetables, leafy greens, citrus), eggs, dairy, frozen foods meeting USDA whole-grain and low-sodium standards, prepared entrees, spices, condiments, and paper and cleaning supplies. All procurement emphasizes Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, food recall procedures, and delivery to individual school sites within strict temperature windows (33–40°F for milk, 41°F or below for refrigerated items, zero degrees or lower for frozen goods).

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, which accounts for the majority of visible recent activity: the State of Georgia issued separate solicitations for food supplies and fresh produce (posting dates May 15 and April 20, 2026); Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System each posted nutrition program bids in March–June 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and Dallas Independent School District in Texas represent the long tail. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative, with estimated annual spending of $4.4–$1.1 million by area and sealed proposals due March 4, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with sealed bids due May 15, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. EST through Bonfire; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid with questions due May 29, 2026, and bids due June 8, 2026, specifying 300+ food items, 60+ non-food supplies, and firm pricing for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (posted February 22, 2026, due April 2, 2026) covering individual line items and designated lots with multiple renewal options through May 28, 2027. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with optional renewal terms, and award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with pricing firm for the initial term and subject to limited escalation clauses tied to USDA or CPI documentation.
