UNSPSC 50611717: Canned or jarred Non GMO brookslate avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO brookslate 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 50611717 Canned or jarred Non GMO brookslate avocados is a Commodity code that nominally describes shelf-stable avocado products; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities show little relevant procurement activity under this code. The recent record shows no solicitations explicitly requesting canned or jarred avocados. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code describe broader food-supply procurements for institutional food service — including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, county food assistance operations, and state hospitals. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county social services boards, school districts, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. The work being solicited involves supply-chain management for high-volume food service operations, with vendors expected to meet USDA standards, deliver within tight timeframes (typically three to seven days post-order), maintain specific shelf-life and labeling requirements, and comply with federal and state food-safety regulations including HACCP certification and Buy American Act provisions where applicable.

Recent activity centers in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and state hospitals, including HHS0017872 (Lufkin, due August 25, 2026), HHS0018082 (Lufkin canteen and campus consumables, due October 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.), and HHS0017449 (El Paso facility, due July 11, 2026) — all requesting dozens of line items spanning prepared foods, frozen items, and food service supplies with historical contract values in the $1.5 million range. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods for senior services. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia sought comprehensive food procurement via IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia posted school nutrition bids (due June 5, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-bidder and Oregon-fabricated-goods preferences. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (extended to May 4, 2026). These procurements indicate that canned and shelf-stable products are components within larger food-service contracts, not standalone specialty items; vendors pursuing this code should position themselves as full-line food-service distributors capable of serving institutional food operations across multiple product categories.
