UNSPSC 50611763: Canned or jarred Non GMO reed avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO reed 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 50611763 Canned or jarred Non GMO reed avocados, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily purchasing shelf-stable food products for institutional food service operations — canteens, campus dining, state-supported living facilities, school nutrition programs, and correctional institutions. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state correctional agencies. However, the recent opportunities block does not contain any solicitations that specifically reference canned or jarred Non-GMO reed avocados; the code appears misaligned with the actual procurements being issued.

The posted opportunities spanning May through October 2026 reflect broad institutional food procurement activity in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with repeat activity from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and multiple Georgia school districts. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). These opportunities solicit proteins, canned vegetables, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods — commodity items fundamentally different from the code's specified product. No recent state or local opportunity records appear to solicit canned or jarred avocados in any form, suggesting either minimal procurement activity under this commodity or systematic tagging misalignment between the code and actual buying needs.
