UNSPSC 50611729: Canned or jarred Non GMO fuchs gwen avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO fuchs gwen 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 50611729 Canned or jarred Non GMO Fuchs Gwen avocados is a Commodity code that nominally describes canned avocado products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect that narrow scope. Instead, state and local governments are sourcing broad consumable food and kitchen supplies for institutional food service operations—primarily state-supported living centers, detention facilities, schools, and county nutrition programs. The work includes fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared food products; dairy; condiments; and food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and disposable items. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission), departments of corrections (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county governments (Gwinnett County), and state agencies (Illinois, Georgia). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable food products across state-supported living centers and hospitals.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas HHS Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and an anticipated contract term through August 31, 2027, plus renewal options through August 31, 2028; IFB HHS0018082 solicited consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with 22 line items and bids due October 23, 2026; and IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. The Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. In Georgia, Gwinnett County issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, and Burke County Public Schools sought bids on a comprehensive school nutrition procurement spanning nearly 400 line items with a bid opening June 8, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division requested bids for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior award of $13.75 per case. Ben Hill County Schools issued IFB #26271 for food products and related items with bids due June 15, 2026, and the Illinois statewide system solicited quarterly food orders for July through September 2026. All procurements emphasize firm, fixed pricing on an FOB Destination basis with delivery timelines of 7 to 72 hours; compliance with USDA standards and FDA regulations; and submission of references, debarment certifications, and insurance documentation.
