NIGP codes for 50601720

Definition

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO chica 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 50601720

UNSPSC 50601720 Frozen Non GMO Chica Avocados, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its narrow specification and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single frozen avocado product, yet the recent opportunities in the database tag general food procurement solicitations—comprehensive school nutrition, institutional food service, and fresh produce contracts—to this code. School districts and state agencies are procuring broad lines of frozen and fresh produce items, dairy, grains, proteins, and supplies for child nutrition programs and institutional food service, not frozen non-GMO avocados specifically. The issuing bodies are primarily independent school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District) and state agencies in Georgia and Missouri, with one large urban district in Texas. The mismatch suggests either a data-coding artifact or a narrowly used commodity code that captures frozen avocado line items only within much larger food-service procurements that are broadly tagged at the commodity level rather than at the family or class tier.

The recent opportunities span Georgia, Missouri, and Texas from February through May 2026. Representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid with a June 8, 2026 response deadline for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, across ten school sites with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026, excluding items available through main commodity bids. No solicitation explicitly names frozen non-GMO avocados or references this code directly in scope. If pursuing this code, verify whether actual frozen avocado demand exists in your target districts' RFPs and whether broader food procurement categories offer better pipeline visibility.
