UNSPSC 50611716: Canned or jarred Non GMO brooks 1978 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO brooks 1978 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 50611716 Canned or jarred non-GMO avocados (Commodity) shows minimal relevant activity in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — specialty preserved avocado products — does not align with actual buying patterns under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged to this code procure mainstream shelf-stable foods (canned tomatoes, frozen proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, grains) for institutional food service, not avocado products. The issuing bodies spanning the recent record include Texas Health and Human Services Commission state supported living centers, Georgia county and school districts (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies, and miscellaneous state nutrition programs — a mix of state health and human services agencies, county governments, school districts, and corrections departments. The geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas representing the heaviest concentration of recent bid activity through HHSC facilities.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (prepared foods and food service supplies) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (peanut butter, canned proteins, sauces, vegetables) for the Department of Community Services, due October 19, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026. The code exhibits a clear mismatch between its stated commodity (non-GMO avocados) and the actual procurement scope, which centers on high-volume institutional food sourcing. Avocado products do not appear in any recent solicitation summaries.
