UNSPSC 50601739: Frozen Non GMO k-5 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO k-5 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 50601739 Frozen Non GMO K-5 avocados is a Commodity code that classifies specialty produce items, though recent state and local solicitations under this code do not focus narrowly on frozen avocados. Instead, the code appears in broader food-procurement notices that encompass multiple produce categories, shelf-stable items, and institutional food service products. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education have posted opportunities in this family, reflecting a mix of county purchasing offices, state procurement, and school district food service operations. The work solicited includes purchase orders for institutional cafeteria and food-distribution programs — Gwinnett County sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services; Early County Schools requested line-by-line bids for 300+ food items to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous products across three schools. Delivery, food safety compliance (HACCP plans, food recall procedures), Buy American provisions, and firm pricing for 15 days post-award are standard contract terms.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia. Recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 informal written quote (due October 19, 2026) for food items with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia's May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid line-by-line solicitation (due June 8, 2026) for food and non-food products with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia opportunity does not name specific items or quantities in the posted notice, deferring to an attached solicitation document. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. All opportunities require vendors to provide references, certify compliance with federal and state requirements (E-Verify, debarment verification for contracts exceeding $25,000), and maintain appropriate insurance and food safety documentation.
