UNSPSC 50601705: Frozen Non GMO bernecker avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO bernecker 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 50601705 Frozen Non-GMO Bernecker Avocados is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty produce items, though recent opportunities under this code show minimal targeted demand for frozen avocados specifically. Instead, state and local agencies are soliciting frozen non-GMO bernecker avocados as part of broader food procurement — typically bundled within shelf-stable and prepared-food buys for senior services, institutional meal programs, and school nutrition. The issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state-level purchasing agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet strict compliance requirements including HACCP plans, debarment verification, E-Verify documentation, general liability insurance, food recall procedures, and domestic-sourcing preferences where mandated by the customer.

Recent opportunities show Georgia as the primary recent activity. Gwinnett County posted an informal written-quote opportunity (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items for senior services, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 and F.O.B. Destination with inside delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The State of Georgia issued a competitive bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), with full scope details in an attached PDF. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items including produce, meats, dairy, and grains for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (due June 8, 2026), with awards made approximately 60 days after bid opening and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with extension options. Pricing is typically evaluated per unit of measure (ounce or equivalent), and awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; all items must be new, properly labeled, and delivered in undamaged condition within required timeframes.
