UNSPSC 50611748: Canned or jarred Non GMO lula macarthur avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO lula macarthur 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 50611748 Canned or jarred Non GMO Lula Macarthur avocados is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable avocado products for state and local institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, and school districts are procuring canned and jarred food products for cafeteria, canteen, and food-service supply operations at state facilities, correctional institutions, and school nutrition programs. The work spans food procurement for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services programs, and school systems, where agencies source multiple food categories including proteins, produce, dairy, and dry goods on firm fixed-price contracts typically running one to three years with renewal options. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia county boards of education, and independent school districts, indicating that procurement activity concentrates among state institutional food service operators and school nutrition authorities rather than local governments or municipalities.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two IFBs for consumables and food items at state-supported living centers—HHS0017872 (due August 25, 2026) and HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026)—plus a larger supplemental food and consumables IFB covering state hospitals and living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with a potential three-year value of up to $4.5 million). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with preference for Oregon-fabricated goods. Georgia school districts, including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools, solicited comprehensive food bids for FY 2026-2027 school nutrition programs (May–June 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). The code shows limited recent activity directly matching canned or jarred avocado products; instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broader food procurement scopes where avocados, if requested, would represent a minor line item within large consumables bids spanning dozens to hundreds of food categories.
