UNSPSC 50601753: Frozen Non GMO monroe avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO monroe 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 50601753 Frozen Non GMO Monroe Avocados is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce line item, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not center on frozen avocados—they span broad school nutrition and food-service procurement across multiple product categories including fresh produce, frozen foods, groceries, dairy, and proteins. State and local governments buying under this code include school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and a municipal education system (Dallas ISD). The scope of work is school nutrition program supply chains supporting National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, with vendors expected to meet USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food safety recall procedures, firm pricing for contract periods, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed schedules. Issuing bodies consistently require general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, and domestic sourcing preferences where applicable. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitations reviewed, though Dallas ISD encourages participation in its Small Business Opportunity program.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food products across three schools with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the City Schools of Decatur's Frozen Foods and Grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) covering frozen and grocery items for ten school sites with contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and potential extension options; the Douglas County School System's RFP for Fresh Produce and Eggs (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), and its companion RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 for 32,500 students; and Dallas ISD's RFP for Various Food Products (due April 2, 2026) for multiple suppliers with contract period May 29, 2026 through May 28, 2027 and options for two additional one-year renewals. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (State of Georgia, multiple school districts) and Texas (Dallas ISD), with additional activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). The code shows robust and recurring activity driven by federally funded school meal programs with annual budget cycles tied to fiscal-year transitions (July 1 start dates predominate).
