UNSPSC 50601771: Frozen Non GMO taylor avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO taylor 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 50601771 Frozen Non-GMO Taylor Avocados is a Commodity code that nominally names a single product line, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little direct alignment with frozen avocados specifically. Instead, the recent solicitations capture broad food procurement across school districts and state agencies—including fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, eggs, meats, and prepared entrees for child nutrition and institutional food service programs. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District) and state agencies (Georgia Department of Education), reflecting the dominant buyer mix in this code space. Work solicited ranges from line-item grocery bids for school nutrition programs spanning 300+ food items to cooperative purchasing arrangements covering 72 fresh produce line items and full food supply and distribution contracts serving thousands of students daily across multiple school sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026, ITB format, covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies for school breakfast and lunch programs), the City Schools of Decatur's Invitation for Bid for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026, IFB format, ten school sites), the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, RFP format, serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas), and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026, RFP format, district-wide as-needed arrangement). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, include Buy American and HACCP compliance requirements, demand firm pricing with limited escalation tied to USDA or CPI data, and impose general liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million.
