UNSPSC 50611708: Canned or jarred Non GMO black prince avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO black prince 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 50611708 Canned or jarred non-GMO black prince avocados is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable food products state and local agencies purchase for institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities in the dataset show this code applied to broader food service procurements across state supported living centers, county nutrition programs, school districts, and corrections facilities. The scope of actual work solicited under the code spans fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, canned vegetables and fruits, grains, condiments, and food service supplies—a range that extends well beyond the narrow product name. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county boards and departments (Gwinnett County), and specialized state facilities. Texas agencies appear most frequently in the recent opportunities block, with multiple solicitations from HHSC and TDCJ; Georgia school districts also show repeat activity.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued three separate IFBs between May and October 2026 for consumable foods and products serving state supported living centers, with responses due August 25, 2026, July 13, 2026, and October 23, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB on May 19, 2026 due June 15, 2026, for food products across multiple school locations with firm pricing for an initial 30-day period and quarterly adjustments thereafter. Burke County Public Schools posted a school nutrition food bid on May 11, 2026 due June 5, 2026, encompassing nearly 400 line items for five schools with a July 1, 2026 contract start. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 with an award to California Healthy Harvest at $13.75 per case in the prior February 2026 purchase. Gwinnett County in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026.
