UNSPSC 50611745: Canned or jarred Non GMO lisa loretta avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO lisa loretta 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 50611745 Canned or jarred Non GMO lisa loretta avocados is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code nominally identifies a specific produce item—canned or jarred non-GMO avocados—yet the recent opportunities posted under or near this code show no demand for that product. Instead, the recent activity encompasses broad food service procurement for state agencies, county governments, and school districts purchasing shelf-stable foods, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy products, condiments, canned vegetables, and food service supplies for institutional feeding programs including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services, school cafeterias, and state hospital systems. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), state departments of corrections, school nutrition programs across Georgia and Texas, Gwinnett County in Georgia, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, reflecting a mix of state health and human services agencies, county social services, and school districts. The work is fundamentally food supply chain contracting—vendors respond to competitive IFBs, RFQs, and ITQs with firm unit pricing, manage logistics to multiple delivery points, comply with USDA and FDA standards, maintain HACCP plans, and fulfill ongoing supply needs across fiscal or academic years.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas HHSC has issued multiple solicitations including IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (response deadline July 13, 2026, $1.5 million annual historical value), IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), and a supplemental statewide food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). The Texas Comptroller's Department of Criminal Justice procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response deadline May 4, 2026) covered approximately 382 line items across five TDCJ warehouse areas. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026, award anticipated June 16, 2026) solicited comprehensive grocery procurement across multiple school locations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229, quotes due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items for senior services. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, with 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders), and Oregon posted a potato variety procurement (solicitation S2910000017460, due July 27, 2026) with insufficient detail provided. Illinois issued an FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order solicitation (bids due June 26, 2026). The code shows no recent activity in the specialty avocado product its name specifies and does not warrant pursuit based on actual procurement demand.
