UNSPSC 50611750: Canned or jarred Non GMO melendez avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO melendez 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 50611750 Canned or jarred Non-GMO melendez avocados is a Commodity code that, despite its specific descriptor, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code itself. The source records do not identify any posted solicitation for canned or jarred Non-GMO avocados under this or any related code from state, county, municipal, school district, or transit authority buyers.

The most-recent-opportunities block contains nine posted solicitations ranging from May through October 2026, all from state agencies, counties, school districts, and correctional departments, but none solicits avocados of any form. The opportunities span institutional food procurement for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services, and school nutrition programs in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with line items covering proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and food service supplies. The code assignment appears to be a data-entry or classification error. Firms seeking state and local procurement activity in fresh, frozen, or shelf-stable produce or food-service commodities should review codes aligned with the actual commodity families under solicitation—such as those for fresh vegetables, frozen produce, or canned vegetables—rather than pursue this code.
