UNSPSC 50601769: Frozen Non GMO simmonds avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO simmonds 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 50601769 Frozen Non-GMO Simmonds avocados (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement, though recent solicitations show that buying bodies are not actively sourcing frozen avocados specifically. Instead, the code appears in general food-supply opportunities where avocados may be one option among many shelf-stable or fresh produce items. State and local governments do purchase produce and prepared foods through food service contracts, and the nominal scope of this code — frozen specialty avocados — aligns with specialty and premium ingredient procurement that appears in institutional food programs, though the most recent public solicitations do not isolate or emphasize frozen avocados as a line item or focus area.

Recent activity under or near this code involves Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed food items including shelf-stable products, due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia (bids on food, supplies, and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (line-by-line bids for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, due June 8, 2026). All three are Georgia jurisdictions, and the issuing bodies span county government and school districts. The opportunities emphasize domestic sourcing, compliance with USDA nutrition standards, bulk procurement (cases or larger units), and firm pricing structures. Because the recent opportunities do not name frozen avocados as a distinct line item or requirement, the code shows little directly relevant recent activity; state and local food procurement in Georgia appears focused on shelf-stable staples, proteins, dairy, and USDA-compliant produce rather than specialty frozen produce.
