UNSPSC 50611710: Canned or jarred Non GMO blair booth avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO blair booth 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 50611710 Canned or jarred non-GMO Blair Booth avocados, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span consumable food procurement across institutional cafeterias, food service supply chains, and school nutrition programs — chiefly canned and jarred proteins, vegetables, fruits, seasonings, dairy products, and related supplies — but none of the posted solicitations explicitly name canned or jarred avocados as a line item. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted multiple food service solicitations (IFB HHS0018082 for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, and IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria products), as have Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County, but these are broadly scoped institutional food procurements. The code's nominal product — canned or jarred non-GMO Blair Booth avocados — does not appear in the specifications of any posted opportunity.

The geographic spread of the recent opportunities centers on Texas (four solicitations from state health and criminal justice agencies), Georgia (three from county and school district nutrition programs), and Oregon (two from the Department of Corrections and a state agency). Response deadlines ranged from May through October 2026, with opportunities typically posted two to three weeks before closing. The closest match is Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026), which requested approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and condiments for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. However, the code's specific commodity — canned or jarred non-GMO Blair Booth avocados — does not appear in any recent solicitation's line-item listing. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes or verify whether avocado products are being procured under different commodity codes or as unspecified "approved equivalent" items in broader institutional food solicitations.
