UNSPSC 50601778: Frozen Non GMO waldin avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO waldin 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 50601778 Frozen Non-GMO Waldín Avocados is a Commodity code that frames a highly specialized produce item, yet the recent state and local opportunities show no active solicitations specifically for frozen non-GMO avocados. The nine most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broader food procurement across multiple categories — fresh and frozen produce, grocery staples, dairy, meats, spices, ice cream, and miscellaneous food service items — spanning school nutrition programs, state agency operations, and district-wide child nutrition services. The issuing bodies are exclusively K–12 school systems and state departments: the Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System (in a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving 30 districts), Dallas Independent School District, the State of Georgia, and the State of Georgia again. School district food-service procurement dominates the activity under this code, with nearly all opportunities serving National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program obligations. Vendors responding to these solicitations must meet extensive compliance requirements including HACCP plans, food recall procedures, E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, Buy American provisions, and state-specific debarment certifications.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Missouri, with one solicitation from Texas. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments with contract performance from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items for child nutrition services over 900 line items due April 29, 2026. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued RFP JC250079 for various food products to be delivered to the Maria Luna Food Service Facilities Warehouse, with proposals due April 2, 2026 and contract performance from May 29, 2026 through May 28, 2027. The code shows active procurement but misalignment with the frozen avocado specification — vendors responding should verify product specifications in detailed bid documents before committing resources.
