UNSPSC 50601749: Frozen Non GMO marcus avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO marcus 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 50601749 Frozen Non GMO Marcus Avocados, a Commodity code, encompasses specialty frozen produce items that state and local governments procure for food service and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show this code is tagged to broader food-service purchasing — the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ 140229 request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and specialty food items for senior services, and the Early County Board of Education's June 2026 bid for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. State purchasing offices also solicit under this code; the State of Georgia posted a May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. Issuing bodies range across county governments, school districts, and state-level agencies, with school districts and senior-services departments representing the primary end users. Delivery and quality standards are consistent across these opportunities: items must arrive in undamaged, properly labeled condition within specified timeframes (typically 72 hours to 10 business days), meet brand specifications or approved equivalents, and comply with USDA standards where applicable (whole-grain and enriched-tier specifications for bread, Grade A pasteurized milk products for schools). Vendors must provide references, maintain liability insurance, and comply with E-Verify and Buy American provisions on larger awards.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, with the Gwinnett County procurement, Early County Board of Education bid, and State of Georgia food supplies solicitation all posting between May and October 2026. The Early County opportunity exemplifies the scale and scope: delivery to three schools Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with prices held firm for 15 days post-award and escalation requests evaluated quarterly against USDA and Consumer Price Index benchmarks. The Gwinnett County opportunity reflects shorter response cycles (posting October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026, requiring delivery by December 7, 2026) and emphasizes lowest-cost responsive bidding with potential line-item splits. All three solicitations specify domestic sourcing preferences, low-sodium and additive-free formulations, and transportation included in bid pricing with no separate fuel surcharges. School districts and county food-service departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with performance locations concentrated across Georgia regional centers and school facilities.
