UNSPSC 50601774: Frozen Non GMO tower li avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO tower ii 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 50601774 Frozen Non GMO tower li avocados, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this code number. The recent opportunities posted against this code span shelf-stable pantry staples (canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables, peanut butter, jelly), school meal program ingredients (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fresh produce, grains, bread products, fluid milk), and food-service supplies and equipment—none of which align with the frozen avocado product nominally named in the code. The issuing bodies are county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), all sourcing food and related supplies through informal quotes (IWQ), sealed bids, and line-by-line competitive procurements rather than specialty produce vendors. The mismatch between the code name and the actual buying activity suggests either a classification error in the state and local system or that this code is used as a catch-all for general food procurement rather than frozen avocados specifically.

The three recent opportunities cluster in Georgia: Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods due October 19, 2026 to the Department of Community Services; the State of Georgia released a sealed bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid for school meal program items (meats, produce, dairy, bread, and fluid milk) due June 8, 2026, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. All three require domestic sourcing where applicable, compliance with food safety and E-Verify standards, and delivery to specified locations with no separate fuel charges. Vendors must hold general liability insurance (minimum $500,000 for school contracts exceeding $25,000), maintain HACCP certification, and provide food recall and biosecurity documentation. The code shows active state and local procurement but for commodity food and supplies far broader than the frozen avocado description suggests.
