UNSPSC 50601757: Frozen Non GMO nesbitt avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO nesbitt 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 50601757 Frozen Non-GMO Nesbitt Avocados is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen produce items for institutional food service operations, though recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code focuses broadly on fresh and frozen food products for school nutrition programs and state operations rather than avocados exclusively.

The work being solicited encompasses delivery of food products meeting USDA compliance and federal nutrition program standards, with vendors required to maintain HACCP plans, food recall procedures, liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability coverage, E-Verify authorization, and Buy American compliance documentation. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives or high fructose corn syrup in line with state legislative requirements.
