UNSPSC 50601717: Frozen Non GMO brookslate avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO brookslate 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 50601717 Frozen Non GMO Brookslate Avocados (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specific commodity — frozen specialty avocados — does not align with the opportunities posted under this taxonomy entry. Recent solicitations tagged to this code focus on broad food supply procurement for school nutrition programs and state operations, encompassing hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods, but do not isolate frozen avocados as a discrete procurement line.

The source records eight recent state and local opportunities spanning Georgia, Missouri, and Texas school districts alongside Georgia state procurement, all issued between late January and mid-May 2026. These opportunities — including the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026, estimated $4.4 to $1.1 million across two areas) and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for 72 fresh produce items (due April 23, 2026) — treat produce as part of larger nutrition service contracts rather than targeting frozen specialty items. The City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026) encompass frozen goods broadly but do not reference frozen avocados specifically. School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing bodies, with activity clustered in Georgia and extending to Missouri and Texas. The code tag appears to reflect a data classification mismatch rather than an active procurement category for frozen specialty avocados at the state and local level.
