UNSPSC 50611746: Canned or jarred Non GMO loretta avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO 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 50611746 Canned or jarred Non GMO Loretta avocados is a Commodity-level code. State and local governments buy shelf-stable canned and jarred food products under this code for institutional foodservice operations — primarily cafeterias, dining facilities, and food-distribution centers operated by state departments, county social services, school districts, and correctional agencies. The recent solicitations show that this code captures institutional bulk food procurement where product specifications emphasize USDA grading, shelf life, sodium content limits, nutritional labeling, and compliance with child nutrition or dietary guidelines. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies), county social services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, both in Georgia). These jurisdictions source hundreds of line items at a time, often bundling canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, and condiments into single comprehensive bids rather than soliciting avocados as a standalone item.

The code sees active procurement across the South and Southwest, with Texas (through HHSC and TDCJ), Georgia (Gwinnett County and multiple school districts), and Oregon (Department of Corrections) posting the most recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products including canned items (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products across five geographic regions (posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026 as extended). No recent opportunities specifically name canned avocados as a line item; the code shows general institutional canned-goods procurement activity rather than targeted demand for this specific product.
