UNSPSC 50601706: Frozen Non GMO beta avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO beta 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 50601706 Frozen Non GMO beta avocados is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single frozen produce item; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity specifically for frozen non-GMO avocados and instead reflect broader food service procurement across multiple product categories. School districts and state agencies soliciting under this code are actually buying comprehensive food supplies for child nutrition programs—fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and specialty items—rather than avocados in isolation. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, and Dallas Independent School District) and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia), reflecting a concentration in school nutrition procurement. Solicitations are structured as RFPs and IFBs with line-item and lot-based award frameworks, firm pricing for 12-month contract periods, delivery to multiple school sites on set schedules, and compliance requirements including HACCP plans, food recall procedures, Buy American provisions, E-Verify authorization, and general liability insurance between $500,000 and $2,000,000.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (State of Georgia, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System with a GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two areas with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million combined) and extends to Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County) and Texas (Dallas Independent School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 and a February 18, 2026 due date; the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools with a June 8, 2026 response deadline; and the Dallas Independent School District's February 22, 2026 RFP for various food products for the 2026-2027 school year with an April 2, 2026 due date. The code shows active procurement volume but marginal relevance to frozen avocados specifically; firms pursuing this code should target comprehensive school nutrition supply contracts rather than single-commodity positioning.
