UNSPSC 50611723: Canned or jarred Non GMO collinson avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO collinson 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 50611723 Canned or jarred Non GMO collinson avocados is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government purchases of shelf-stable canned and jarred produce for institutional food service operations—primarily state health and human services facilities, corrections departments, school districts, and county social service programs. Recent solicitations show that while the code nominally targets Non-GMO collinson avocados specifically, the actual procurement activity under this code encompasses a far broader range of canned and jarred food products. State and local agencies are buying canned tomatoes, canned vegetables, canned proteins, and other shelf-stable produce as components of larger food-service contracts rather than avocados in isolation. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services commissions operating state supported living centers and hospitals, state corrections departments, school districts across multiple states, and county governments managing senior services and nutrition programs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, having issued multiple bids for consumable foods and supplemental products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas HHS Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods including canned and prepared items for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and earlier issued HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables serving El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces for the Department of Community Services. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted S2910000017145 on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case from the prior February purchase. School districts in Georgia—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026)—each solicited hundreds of line items of food products for multi-school nutrition programs with firm pricing and six-month adjustment provisions. The code shows no recent solicitations specific to Non-GMO collinson avocados, indicating a material mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local procurement demand.
