UNSPSC 50601779: Frozen Non GMO wurtz avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO wurtz 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 50601779 Frozen Non GMO wurtz avocados is a Commodity code that captures frozen specialty produce items state and local governments purchase for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity under this code does not clearly isolate frozen avocados as a discrete line item. The code encompasses shelf-stable and refrigerated food products acquired by counties, school districts, and state agencies for senior services, school nutrition programs, and institutional dining. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices, state food service procurement divisions, and independent school districts. The work consists of sourcing, quality certification, and delivery of packaged food items to specified institutional locations, with vendors required to meet product specifications, deliver within tight windows, maintain compliance with food safety standards including HACCP plans, carry liability insurance, and often satisfy Buy American and domestic sourcing preferences.

Georgia dominates recent activity under this code and related food-service procurement. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026, delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date, though the scope remains in an attached solicitation document. Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 covering 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for school nutrition programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. None of the three recent Georgia solicitations explicitly names frozen avocados as a line item; the code appears to capture produce and specialty items as part of broader institutional food service buys rather than as standalone procurement categories.
