UNSPSC 50611743: Canned or jarred Non GMO leona linda avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO leona linda 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 50611743 Canned or jarred Non GMO leona linda avocados (Commodity) appears rarely in state and local procurement — the code shows little recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The most recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code actually procure broad food categories including proteins, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies for institutional food service operations, not specialty avocado products. Recent opportunities do not name avocado procurement as a line item or specify the code for avocado-specific contracts.

State and local buyers issuing under or near this category are primarily state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, departments of corrections, state supported living centers), county and municipal school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Gwinnett County in Georgia), and state-level procurement offices. The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 for consumables and prepared foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for community services with quotes due October 19, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requested sealed bids for comprehensive food and kitchen products (IFB #26271) due June 15, 2026, under Buy American Act requirements. No recent opportunities specifically reference canned non-GMO avocados; the mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests this commodity code does not reflect current state and local buying patterns or serves as a placeholder in institutional food service solicitations where specialty items are rarely specified by UNSPSC code.
