UNSPSC 50611741: Canned or jarred Non GMO lamb haas avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO lamb haas 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 50611741 Canned or jarred Non GMO lamb haas avocados is a Commodity code that represents a narrow, specialized produce category with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes preserved avocado products, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not target avocados or related produce. Instead, issuing bodies in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon have posted opportunities for broad food service procurement—including shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, and consumable supplies for state-supported living centers, county senior services, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. The mismatch between the code name and the work actually being solicited suggests that either the UNSPSC categorization is not reliably applied by these jurisdictions or the code sees minimal relevant volume. Solicitation activity is dominated by state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections) and county and municipal school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia) procuring consolidated, multi-category food and kitchen supplies for institutional food service operations.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and sauces for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' food bid under IFB #26271 for fresh, frozen, dairy, and dry goods across four schools (response due June 15, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with delivery to Salem (due June 19, 2026, with the prior purchase priced at $13.75 per case). Texas HHSC has also posted larger consolidated food procurements with estimated annual values in the $1.5 million to $4.5 million range across multiple facilities and renewal terms. The code shows no active commercial or retail avocado-specific opportunities and does not support a targeted business development strategy for the nominal commodity.
