UNSPSC 50601772: Frozen Non GMO tonnage avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO tonnage 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 50601772 Frozen Non GMO tonnage avocados is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and perishable food products for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The code's nominal scope—frozen non-GMO avocados—does not align with the recent solicitations in the block, which span broad food procurement for school lunch programs, county senior services, and statewide food supply. The actual buying activity under this code encompasses canned proteins, shelf-stable vegetables, dairy products including fluid milk in multiple fat and lactose-free formulations, bread products meeting USDA whole-grain specifications, meats, poultry, seafood, and condiments for school nutrition and institutional feeding. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, state purchasing offices, and independent school districts soliciting either line-by-line competitive bids or informal written quotes depending on estimated contract value and performance location.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia, where Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ in October 2026 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026, and Early County Board of Education posted an IFB in May 2026 for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia also issued a statewide food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response deadline; the full scope is contained in an attached solicitation document. School district opportunities emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, products without added sugars or artificial additives, and compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP food safety plans.
