UNSPSC 50611720: Canned or jarred Non GMO chica avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO chica 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 50611720 Canned or jarred Non-GMO chica avocados (Commodity) describes a specific produce item that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service operations. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code show that agencies buy shelf-stable and prepared food products for cafeteria, canteen, and food service programs at supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and other institutional settings. The code itself names a narrow product category, but the recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers source it as part of broader food procurement bundles that include proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and consumable supplies. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers, school nutrition programs across multiple Georgia and Texas school districts, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia counties, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office. These are predominantly institutional food service buyers—state facilities and school systems—rather than retail or consumer-facing procurement.

The recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with estimated annual quantities from 1 to 24 cases per item), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 (with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident-bidder preferences receiving 5 percent evaluation preference), and Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid solicitation for school nutrition food covering nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories with bids due June 5, 2026. Delivery is typically F.O.B. Destination with prepaid freight included in pricing, and response cycles run 7 to 30 days. The recent opportunities show no direct solicitations explicitly naming canned or jarred non-GMO avocados; the code appears lightly used in current state and local activity, tagged primarily as part of broader food procurement categories rather than as a standalone commodity line item.
