UNSPSC 50611776: Canned or jarred Non GMO west indian seedling avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO windian seedling 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 50611776 Canned or jarred Non GMO west indian seedling avocados is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of canned or jarred avocados. Instead, the block contains food service solicitations for institutional buyers—state health and human services agencies, county governments, school districts, and state prisons—seeking shelf-stable proteins, frozen vegetables, canned goods, fresh produce, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity for the stated commodity.

The recent opportunities named span Texas state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia county and school-district systems (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois state procurement, with the bulk of activity in Texas and Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (responses due July 13, 2026), which covered 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated foods with a three-year value ceiling of $4.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026); and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food products including fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and supplies across four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026). None of these opportunities identified procurement of canned or jarred avocados as a line item or focus area.
