UNSPSC 50611700: Canned or jarred Non GMO avocados

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO avocados that has been canned or jarred 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 50611700 Canned or jarred Non-GMO avocados (Class) does not reflect meaningful recent procurement activity by state and local governments. The code appears to describe a specialized subcategory of canned produce; however, the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for canned or jarred avocados of any kind from any state or local issuing body. The recent contract opportunities posted under or near this code span food procurement broadly — weekly food orders, school nutrition supplies, fresh produce, canned tomatoes, canned goods inventories, and institutional food service — but avocados, canned or otherwise, do not appear in any of the posted solicitations from Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, or Missouri school districts and state agencies between January and June 2026.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity suggests either misclassification in the source data or genuine absence of demand. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and instead monitor the parent Family and Segment codes (canned vegetables and fruits more broadly) where the majority of institutional food service procurement currently flows. The active codes capture school nutrition programs, corrections department food supply, and state hospital and supported living center provisions across multiple states; avocados specifically do not appear in that activity.
