UNSPSC 50601735: Frozen Non GMO hardee avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO hardee 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 50601735 Frozen Non GMO hardee avocados is a Commodity code that nominally describes frozen specialty avocados, but recent state and local opportunities under this code show little activity directly aligned with that specific product line. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code are broad food procurement efforts for school nutrition programs and state operations that encompass hundreds of food and supply items—fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, grains, meats, and non-food supplies—rather than frozen avocados specifically. State and local school districts and state departments are the primary issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts, with Georgia jurisdictions (the State of Georgia, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System) appearing most frequently in recent postings. Texas and Missouri school districts also issue multi-item food procurements under broader codes that may encompass this commodity, though the code itself does not appear to be systematically used for category-specific procurement.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and the Southeast, with representatively large opportunities including the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026), which solicits 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies for school meal programs via sealed IFB; the City Schools of Decatur's Frozen Foods and Grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) covering frozen and grocery items for the School Nutrition Program across ten designated sites; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026), estimated at $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 participating districts. The Dallas Independent School District issued a broader RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026) and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026). These opportunities signal that state and local food service procurement is active and ongoing, but vendors pursuing frozen avocado sales specifically should confirm that line items under this commodity code appear in individual district bid schedules, as the code's recent posting history suggests broad category tagging rather than commodity-specific sourcing.
