UNSPSC 50611706: Canned or jarred Non GMO beta avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO beta avocados that have 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 50611706 Canned or jarred Non GMO beta avocados, a Commodity code, addresses a narrow specialty food product that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is minimal. The code sits within the broader institutional food procurement landscape where school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities regularly source canned and preserved food products to support meals programs, though the specific beta avocado product line itself appears to generate little dedicated procurement volume. State and local buying bodies posting opportunities in the food products and supplies space—including school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools, and Muscogee County School District), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems across Georgia and Missouri—routinely consolidate dozens or hundreds of food line items into single RFP or IFB opportunities rather than issuing category-specific solicitations for individual specialty items like Non GMO beta avocados.

Recent opportunities in the food products commodity space cluster across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois, with school districts representing the dominant issuing bodies for nutrition-program procurement. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), covering multiple NIGP classes with estimated historical value of $1.5 million; Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016405 ITB for canned tomatoes (1,904 cases, due March 9, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for delivery to 45 schools and distribution kitchens; and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurement for NOI products and general grocery items (due April 29, 2026) serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants. The code shows little recent activity tied specifically to canned or jarred Non GMO beta avocados; opportunities tagged with this code typically encompass broad food supply categories where the beta avocado line item, if present, represents a single SKU among hundreds rather than the primary procurement focus.
