UNSPSC 50601766: Frozen Non GMO ryan avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO ryan 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 50601766 Frozen Non GMO Ryan Avocados is a Commodity code that covers specialized frozen produce items. However, recent state and local procurement activity tagged with this code shows no solicitations specifically requesting frozen avocados or even frozen produce generally. The most recent opportunities posted under this code involve broader food and grocery procurement for school nutrition programs and state operations, encompassing dozens or hundreds of line items across fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, grains, and non-food supplies. The issuing bodies are 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) and state agencies (State of Georgia). The code shows little targeted demand for the frozen avocado product itself and appears to be a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the solicitations actually being pursued.

State and local procurement under this code centers on school nutrition programs and general food service operations. Georgia has posted multiple opportunities including an IFB for fresh produce (May 27, 2026 response deadline) and a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (June 22, 2026 response deadline) by the State of Georgia; the Early County Board of Education issued an RFQ for line-by-line food bids across 300+ food items with a June 8, 2026 deadline; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited fresh produce for 72 items with a April 23, 2026 deadline. Additional opportunities span Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items bid due April 29, 2026) and Texas (Dallas ISD RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026). The Douglas County School System in Georgia also issued two separate RFPs—one for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million annual spending (March 4, 2026 deadline) and one for main-line food supply and distribution services with approximately $9 million annual spending (February 18, 2026 deadline). The concentration of recent activity centers in Georgia and involves school districts as primary buyers, with contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30 across school nutrition program fiscal years.
