UNSPSC 50601723: Frozen Non GMO collinson avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO collinson 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 50601723 Frozen Non-GMO Collinson Avocados is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific frozen avocado product, but recent state and local solicitations show no demand for frozen Collinson avocados specifically. Instead, the code appears in procurement records tagged to broad food-service solicitations that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, proteins, grains, and non-food supplies. The actual work being solicited under this code includes supplying comprehensive grocery and food products to school nutrition programs, state operations, and institutional food services. School districts dominate issuing activity, with independent school districts and county boards of education soliciting line-by-line food bids that specify detailed quality, delivery, and compliance requirements including HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, food safety certifications, and liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000. State departments also post broader food and supply solicitations. Recent issuers include the State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System (Georgia), with the Douglas County system appearing twice in the recent record managing cooperative purchasing across multiple districts.

Georgia dominates recent activity, with seven of nine opportunities posted by Georgia state agencies or Georgia school systems since January 2026, while Missouri and Texas each represent one opportunity. Geographic concentration in Georgia reflects both state procurement volume and the state's use of cooperative buying vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026, IFB covering 300+ food items, 60+ non-food and cleaning supplies, with milk and bread delivery specifications); Decatur City Schools' frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026, requiring HACCP compliance and 24/7 recall accessibility); Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items IFB (due April 29, 2026, covering 900+ line items via electronic NUTRIKIDS submission); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce annual contract bid (due April 23, 2026, 72 produce items across 60 school sites); and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, serving 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across two geographic areas). None of these solicitations request frozen Collinson avocados as a line item. The code's current activity reflects a category-level mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual procurement content.
