UNSPSC 50611739: Canned or jarred Non GMO k-5 avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO k-5 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 50611739 Canned or jarred Non GMO K-5 avocados (Commodity) does not appear in state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code is framed narrowly around a specialty food product — non-GMO, K-5 grade canned or jarred avocados — yet the recent solicitations posted under or related to 50611739 actually cover broad categories of consumable foods, prepared items, and food service supplies. State and local buyers (primarily Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County, school districts, and the Oregon Department of Corrections) are soliciting canned tomatoes, shelf-stable proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, fresh and frozen proteins, grains, and kitchen supplies at volumes measured in hundreds or thousands of cases. The Texas HHS Commission alone has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods spanning 20 line items per solicitation across fiscal 2027 operations. None of the recent opportunities name avocados — canned, jarred, non-GMO, or otherwise — as a line item or scope element.

The recent activity under this code segment reflects general food procurement for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and corrections facilities across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with opportunities from May through October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (shelf-stable food items, due October 19, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato procurement (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026 with a prior award at $13.75 per case). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content signals limited or no market activity for this specific commodity.
