UNSPSC 50601747: Frozen Non GMO lula avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO lula 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 50601747 Frozen Non GMO lula avocados is a Commodity code that captures fresh and frozen produce items being purchased by state and local school districts and educational institutions. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show a broad pattern of state and local food service procurement, though the available records reveal limited direct solicitation activity specifically for frozen avocados; instead, the code appears to reflect broader fresh produce and prepared-food acquisitions that school nutrition programs use to build meal offerings across multiple product categories. School districts and county education systems are the primary issuing bodies, supplemented by state-level education agencies and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple districts. The work being solicited spans line-item food service contracts for school breakfast and lunch programs, with vendors required to meet USDA compliance, HACCP food safety plans, Buy American provisions, food recall capabilities, and delivery schedules that typically run Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to multiple school sites. Contracts commonly include firm pricing for 12-month terms with limited price adjustment authority and renewal options extending up to three or four additional years based on performance.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and adjacent states, with multiple school districts and state procurement offices posting solicitations between February and June 2026. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 districts using the GEC Buying Cooperative), the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (due June 8, 2026, encompassing approximately 300+ food items with domestic sourcing and low-sodium preferences), the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026, with ten designated school delivery sites and 24/7 food recall accessibility requirements), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce contract (due April 23, 2026, covering 72 produce items with annual volumes reaching 21,125 cases for certain varieties), Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services' grocery bid (due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 900 line items), and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026, structured around individual line items and designated spice and ice cream lots).
