UNSPSC 50601763: Frozen Non GMO reed avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO reed 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 50601763 Frozen Non-GMO Reed Avocados is a Commodity code that does not reflect the current state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities attributed to this code span broad food service procurement for school districts and state agencies — including comprehensive fresh produce contracts, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs and state operations. The code's narrow nominal scope (frozen avocados) diverges sharply from what is actually being solicited: school districts and state agencies are buying diverse food baskets to support child nutrition services, not specialty produce items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Dallas Independent School District), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and one cooperative purchasing entity (GEC Buying Cooperative). School nutrition is the dominant use case across all recent opportunities.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri, with activity also in Texas and broader representation across state-level procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs, due March 4, 2026, covering 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; the Early County Board of Education line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and the Dallas Independent School District RFP for Various Food Products (due April 2, 2026) for the 2026-2027 school year with options for two renewal terms. School nutrition contracts consistently emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain specifications, low-sodium formulations, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and E-Verify authorization. Most contracts require firm pricing for the initial term with adjustments permitted only when supported by third-party market data (USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Consumer Price Index, or Urner Barry reporting), and all delivery costs and transportation are included in vendor pricing with no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
