UNSPSC 50611761: Canned or jarred Non GMO pollock avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO pollock 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 50611761 Canned or jarred Non-GMO pollock avocados is a Commodity code. State and local procurement under this code centers on shelf-stable, branded food products for institutional food service and supply programs, primarily in health and human services facilities, state-supported living centers, correctional institutions, and school nutrition programs. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for pollock avocados specifically; instead, the code appears to be applied broadly to general consumable food procurement where canned or jarred items are among many line items solicited. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's requests for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0016792V2, 210 line items including frozen, refrigerated, and dry products, due March 19, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products procurement through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division (IFB 304T26300CF, approximately 382 food line items across five geographic warehouse areas, extended due date May 4, 2026). School districts and county nutrition programs also use this code for multi-line-item food bids: Burke County Public Schools in Georgia (PE55037NONST2027000000007, nearly 400 line items, due May 26, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools (PE61000NONST2027000000006, multiple food categories, due June 15, 2026). The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services departments, state correctional systems, county school districts, and county government food service programs, with Texas agencies appearing repeatedly in recent activity.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas dominates with multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations; Georgia shows school district and county board activity; Oregon procurement includes the Department of Corrections canned-tomato bid (S2910000017145, 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, with 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon resident bidders). Illinois posted a quarterly food order for July-September 2027 (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). All recent opportunities require FOB Destination delivery with freight prepaid and included in pricing, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, minimum shelf-life guarantees, firm pricing for initial contract terms with adjustments permitted only at renewal periods tied to third-party market indices or CPA approval, submission of three verifiable references, and debarment and compliance certifications. Buy American provisions apply to school nutrition programs. Contract terms typically run one to two years with renewal options. The code shows active procurement across institutional food service but lacks recent opportunities explicitly naming canned or jarred pollock avocados as a distinct line item or primary scope element.
