UNSPSC 50611755: Canned or jarred Non GMO nabal avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO nabal 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 50611755 Canned or jarred non-GMO Nabal avocados is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities show little evidence that this code is currently being procured by the jurisdictions tracked in the dataset. The code's nominal scope — specialty preserved avocado products — diverges sharply from what is actually being bought under related food-procurement codes at the state and local level. Nine opportunities posted between May and October 2026 reflect solicitations for broad food-service consumables spanning canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, frozen items, condiments, and fresh produce; none of the recent postings name canned or jarred avocados or any specialty produce product matching the code's descriptor. The issuing bodies are Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state supported living centers and hospitals), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts — a mix of state health and corrections agencies, county government, and school districts.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (state-hospital and state-prison food service), Georgia (county and school nutrition programs), and Oregon (corrections), with Illinois and other states represented in the broader opportunities block but at lower frequency. Representative recent procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Consumables Foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (food items including shelf-stable proteins and canned vegetables, quotes due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026 at $13.75 per case from the prior award). The code shows no discernible recent state and local activity; prospective vendors should monitor broader food-service commodity families (canned vegetables, specialty proteins, preserved fruits) rather than expect dedicated solicitations under this narrow avocado-specific classification.
