UNSPSC 50601711: Frozen Non GMO booth 1 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO booth 1 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 50601711 Frozen Non GMO Booth 1 Avocados (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school and public institution food service procurement, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal specific purchasing activity for frozen avocados in isolation. Instead, state and local governments buy frozen avocados as line items embedded in comprehensive school nutrition and food service contracts that solicit broad frozen or fresh produce categories, prepared foods, dairy, and ancillary supplies. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (independent school districts, county school systems) and state agencies managing child nutrition programs, with occasional participation from special purpose cooperative purchasing groups like the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple districts simultaneously. School nutrition programs dominate the purchasing pattern, driven by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements, and all recent solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, HACCP plans, food safety documentation, and product specifications prohibiting artificial additives and high-fructose corn syrup where applicable.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and surrounding states, with the most concentrated solicitation volume among Georgia school districts and the State of Georgia itself. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) procuring approximately 72 line items across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively through the GEC Buying Cooperative; the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) spanning 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits with National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (posted April 16, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for ten school sites with firm pricing for 30 days from award; the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement in Missouri (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items with electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS; the State of Georgia's fresh produce IFB #4 (posted April 20, 2026, due May 27, 2026); and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (posted February 22, 2026, due April 2, 2026) requiring compliance with Texas Legislative Bill #314 prohibiting artificial colors and high-fructose corn syrup.
