UNSPSC 50611730: Canned or jarred Non GMO fuerte avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO fuerte 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 50611730 Canned or jarred Non GMO fuerte avocados is a Commodity code that covers preserved avocado products for institutional food service. In practice, state and local governments procure this code as part of broad food-supply contracts for state agencies, correctional facilities, schools, and community service programs, though canned avocados appear infrequently as a standalone line item. The issuing bodies span state departments of health and human services, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state correctional agencies. Recent opportunities show that avocados compete within larger consumables-and-food solicitations where dozens or hundreds of line items are bundled—fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and disposable service supplies. Institutional food service relies on these consolidated food bids to serve resident populations, patients, students, and staff across multiple facilities, with contract periods typically running twelve months or longer.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Among the most active recent solicitations, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792v2 in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a March 19, 2026 response deadline. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB in June 2026 (S2910000017145) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #26271 in May 2026 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across four school locations, with sealed bids due June 15, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Commodity code shows little standalone activity; most opportunities tag canned avocados as one option within multi-hundred-line-item food procurements where the code's application remains incidental to the broader institutional food-supply mission.
