UNSPSC 50611753: Canned or jarred Non GMO monroe avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO monroe 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 50611753 Canned or jarred Non GMO monroe avocados is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable avocado products procured by state and local governments for food-service operations, though recent state and local solicitation activity shows no contracts explicitly requesting canned or jarred Non-GMO avocados. The code's nominal scope reflects specialty canned or jarred produce, but the most recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code do not align with the specific commodity name — recent postings instead document acquisitions of conventional canned vegetables (tomatoes, beans), prepared foods, dairy products, proteins, and broad food-service consumables for institutional cafeterias, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities across multiple jurisdictions.

Issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state departments (Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), county school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state education procurement offices (Illinois). The geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois as the primary posting jurisdictions in recent months. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response date October 23, 2026), which solicited 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies, and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services (response date October 19, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response date June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences) and the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products serving the Department of Criminal Justice (response deadline May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) represent typical large-scale, multi-item institutional food procurements. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity designation and the actual recent solicitation activity suggests minimal direct demand for Non-GMO monroe avocados specifically, with state and local buyers currently purchasing conventional canned and fresh produce, prepared proteins, dairy, and broad food-service commodities through broader food-supply contracts.
