UNSPSC 50611773: Canned or jarred Non GMO tower avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO tower 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 50611773 Canned or jarred Non GMO tower avocados, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The eight opportunities posted between May and October 2026 in the recent-opportunities block show no solicitations for canned or jarred avocados under this code. The opportunities instead cover broad food procurement for state facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions—including canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and general consumable food service supplies. While several solicitations name canned vegetables and some reference "or approved equivalent" substitutions for specific branded items, none explicitly name canned avocados or reference this commodity code.

The absence of recent activity under UNSPSC 50611773 suggests this code sees minimal state and local procurement volume. The issuing bodies active in related food-service codes—Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts, Georgia county government, and the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice—focus their solicitations on staple proteins, vegetables, grains, and prepared foods rather than specialty preserved produce. If procurement interest in canned or jarred avocados exists within state or local systems, it is either embedded in broader food-service contracts under higher-tier family or class codes, handled through existing regional or state-cooperative food-service agreements, or too limited in volume to generate standalone solicitations at the commodity level.
