Definition

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO black prince 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.

About UNSPSC 50601708

UNSPSC 50601708 Frozen Non GMO black prince avocados is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen produce items, though recent activity shows the code is applied narrowly within broader food-supply solicitations that span shelf-stable proteins, grains, dairy, and fresh or processed vegetables. State and local governments use this code when purchasing frozen fruit and vegetable products for senior services, school nutrition programs, and institutional food service. Issuing bodies include county governments and school districts procuring for community services departments, National School Lunch Program operations, and senior-services centers. The work involves responsive bidding on line-item food quotes with quality and delivery specifications, often bundled with dozens of other food products in a single solicitation rather than as a standalone frozen-avocado purchase.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an IWQ in October 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including proteins, grains, and vegetables for senior services, and Early County Board of Education issuing line-by-line bids in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items spanning meats, dairy, produce, and condiments to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools. The State of Georgia also solicited food, supplies, and kitchen products in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026), though the full scope was contained in an attached document. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Pricing is typically evaluated per unit of measure with awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and delivery windows are tight—often within 72 hours of order and before fixed end-use dates tied to funding cycles.
