UNSPSC 50601704: Frozen Non GMO benik avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO benik avocados that have 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 50601704 Frozen Non-GMO Benik Avocados is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with the code's nominal scope—the source shows no solicitations specifically requesting frozen non-GMO benik avocados. Instead, the eight recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 solicit broad food service procurement including fresh produce, grocery staples, frozen and refrigerated items, spices, eggs, and complete food supply and distribution for school nutrition programs. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging inconsistency or that frozen specialty avocados are bundled into larger commodity food contracts rather than procured as standalone line items. State and local governments buying under food-service codes typically solicit through school districts (which represent the plurality of recent activity), county education systems, and state agencies; the Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, City Schools of Decatur, and Douglas County School System in Georgia all issued RFPs or IFBs between January and June 2026. Dallas Independent School District in Texas also posted in this period. These are primarily school-nutrition-focused procurements serving National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.

The recent opportunities concentrate in Georgia (six of eight) and include Missouri and Texas. Representative solicitations span fresh produce, frozen foods, and full food-supply distribution: the Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual spending of approximately $9,000,000 across 32 schools; Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food-and-non-food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300+ food items plus 60+ non-food supplies for the 2026–2027 school year; and Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP (posted February 22, 2026, due April 2, 2026) for various food products not available through main commercial and commodity food bids, with contract running May 29, 2026 through May 28, 2027. All recent opportunities require firm pricing, compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food-recall procedures, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 limits), and delivery to school sites Monday through Friday within tight time windows. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the available solicitation documents. The code shows little relevant recent activity for frozen specialty avocados specifically and warrants close examination of how individual items map to broader commodity contracts before pursuing.
