UNSPSC 50611711: Canned or jarred Non GMO booth 1 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO booth 1 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 50611711 Canned or jarred Non-GMO booth 1 avocados (Commodity tier) maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope is specialty preserved avocados, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for that specific product line. Instead, the code appears to have been assigned to a broader food procurement that includes canned or jarred goods as one line item among dozens of unrelated commodities—a taxonomy mismatch common when procurement staff tag general consumables under a narrow specialty food code. State and local governments do purchase shelf-stable foods and consumable supplies through institutional food service contracts, but those purchases span canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, condiments, and general dry goods rather than non-GMO avocados in particular.

Recent activity under this code is minimal and non-representative. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted two IFBs for consumables at state supported living centers (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, and HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, and the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, closed June 19, 2026). Texas state agencies, Georgia county and school systems, and Oregon corrections are active in the broad food service space, but none of these opportunities specifically target preserved avocados. Until recent solicitations demonstrate consistent demand for the specialized product the code names, treat this code as inactive for practical business development purposes and monitor for repricing of broader institutional food contracts where avocado products might appear as one line item.
