UNSPSC 50601737: Frozen Non GMO herman avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO herman 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 50601737 Frozen Non-GMO Herman Avocados is a Commodity code. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not focus on frozen avocados specifically; instead, they reflect broad procurement of food service supplies for school nutrition programs and state operations, including fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, dairy, meats, and related kitchen products. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all posted solicitations under this code or related food-service family codes in the first half of 2026. The code captures commodity-level food purchasing for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, where frozen and fresh items, whole-grain products, low-sodium formulations, HACCP-compliant goods, and items free of artificial additives drive specification requirements. State procurement offices in Georgia have also issued general food-supply and fresh-produce bids.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. Georgia shows the heaviest volume, with the State of Georgia itself, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, and Early County Board of Education all posting food-service solicitations between February and May 2026. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026, covering 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two), the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026, with contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026, for the 2026–2027 school year). School districts consistently require firm pricing for full contract periods, Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, E-Verify authorization, and delivery to multiple school sites within tight time windows (typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday). No set-asides are prominently featured, though several solicitations encourage minority and women-owned business participation consistent with federal standards.
