UNSPSC 50601746: Frozen Non GMO loretta avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO loretta 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 50601746 Frozen Non GMO Loretta Avocados, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers a specific product—frozen, non-GMO Loretta avocados—but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it are general food service procurements spanning broad categories of grocery items, produce, and meals support rather than frozen avocados specifically. The State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Dallas Independent School District in Texas, and Douglas County School System in Georgia have all posted food service solicitations in the past four months, but these are multi-hundred-line-item RFPs and IFBs for school nutrition programs encompassing fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, and miscellaneous grocery items—not frozen avocados as a discrete commodity purchase.

The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the broad solicitations suggests this code does not map cleanly to actual state and local buying activity. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies in the recent opportunities, with procurement concentrated in Georgia and Texas, and contract awards typically based on lowest responsive bid across multiple line items. If frozen non-GMO Loretta avocados do appear within these broader food service bids, they would be one among hundreds of line items evaluated together, making the code a poor targeting signal for business development. Vendors pursuing school nutrition supply contracts should monitor the broader grocery and produce families rather than rely on this specific commodity code.
