UNSPSC 50611721: Canned or jarred Non GMO choquette avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO choquette 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 50611721 Canned or jarred Non GMO choquette avocados is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable food procurement for state and local institutional dining — primarily state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and health service agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect broad consumables purchasing that spans prepared and frozen foods, canned proteins, vegetables, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies across institutional canteens, cafeterias, and food service operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), and statewide procurement divisions acting on behalf of state agencies (Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice). State-level procurements and school district food bids dominate recent activity, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing multiple times across state-supported living center contracts and the Oregon Department of Corrections seeking large volume canned-goods purchases.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies, bids due October 23, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, delivered to Salem (bids due June 19, 2026 at $13.75 per case in the prior purchase); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products across four locations with hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, meat, dairy, and condiments (bids due June 15, 2026). The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products encompasses approximately 382 line items with FOB Destination delivery to six TDCJ distribution points statewide (extended due date May 4, 2026).
