UNSPSC 50601716: Frozen Non GMO brooks 1978 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO brooks 1978 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 50601716 Frozen Non GMO brooks 1978 avocados is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal product name and the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not include procurement of frozen avocados or specialty frozen produce; instead, the code is being used to tag general food-service solicitations spanning shelf-stable pantry items, school lunch program ingredients, and institutional food supplies. The issuing bodies active under this code include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). These jurisdictions are sourcing food through informal written quotes (IWQ), line-by-line competitive bids, and RFQ notices.

Recent activity centers on Georgia, with Gwinnett County seeking approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); the State of Georgia issuing a broader bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education requesting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, grains, and condiments plus non-food supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026). The Early County solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The code's current use as a catch-all tag for general institutional food procurement rather than specialty frozen produce reflects a mismatch between the code's specified product name and actual state and local buying activity.
