UNSPSC 50611707: Canned or jarred Non GMO biondo avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO biondo 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 50611707 Canned or jarred Non GMO biondo avocados is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities in this dataset show minimal direct alignment with the code's specific product scope. The code nominally targets a narrow specialty food product, yet only one of twelve recent solicitations tangentially references canned goods within a broader food-supply context; the remainder focus on conventional fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable proteins, produce, dairy, and consumables for institutional food service. When opportunities are tagged to this code, they typically involve multi-category institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services rather than targeted purchases of canned or jarred avocado products. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state executive procurement offices (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TDCJ, State of Georgia, State of Illinois). Texas agencies appear most frequently among recent postings, with multiple IFBs from HHSC for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center and the Department of State Health Services (210 line items, fresh through frozen and refrigerated products, historical value $1.5 million, bid due July 13, 2026); the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products supplying TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas (approximately 382 line items, response extended to May 4, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition program food products across four locations with Buy American Act compliance required (bids due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division's June 2026 bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (not avocados) reflects the prevalence of large-volume shelf-stable commodity procurement in the corrective-systems and institutional-services sectors. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with activity also in Illinois. Vendors pursuing this code should expect broad institutional food service requirements rather than specialty produce sourcing and should position for IFB and informal quote (IWQ) processes with emphasis on USDA grade compliance, delivery-timeline performance, and HACCP and Buy American certification where applicable.
