UNSPSC 50611747: Canned or jarred Non GMO lula avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO lula 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 50611747 Canned or jarred Non GMO lula avocados is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable fruit and vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations — primarily cafeteria supply, residential facility feeding programs, and emergency or supplemental nutrition services. The recent solicitation record shows no opportunities explicitly requesting canned or jarred Non GMO lula avocados; instead, state and local buyers have posted IFBs and IWQs for general canned and fresh food items that include canned vegetables, canned proteins, and fresh produce as part of broader food service line-item buys, but the code's narrow focus on Non GMO lula avocado products specifically does not reflect current procurement activity. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts span multiple jurisdictions: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia counties (Gwinnett, Ben Hill) and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and the State of Illinois. The procurement mix tilts heavily toward state-level facilities (state supported living centers, state hospitals, correctional institutions) and school nutrition programs, which conduct recurring annual or quarterly food supply solicitations.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026; responses due July 13, 2026; prior-period value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato bid S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026; responses due June 19, 2026; prior purchase $13.75 per case) seeking 7,616 cases of USDA Grade B or better product, and multiple Georgia school district food bids including Burke County Public Schools (posted May 11, 2026; sealed bids due June 5, 2026) covering nearly 400 line items across food categories with emphasis on USDA compliance and Child Nutrition standards. The code shows no recent state or local opportunities specifically requesting Non GMO lula avocado products in canned or jarred form; the activity documented above addresses broader commodity categories such as canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, and dairy items that dominate institutional food service procurement but do not isolate this avocado product line.
