UNSPSC 50611777: Canned or jarred Non GMO wagner avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO wagner 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 50611777 Canned or jarred Non GMO Wagner avocados is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred food products for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show this code is being applied to broad consumable food procurement by health and human services agencies, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs, though the specific avocado product line appears tangential to the actual buying pattern. State and local governments under this code are purchasing multi-line-item food baskets that include canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, condiments, baking supplies, and related food service consumables in cases for canteen, campus dining, cafeteria, and institutional kitchen operations. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state correctional departments, county commissioners, county school districts, and independent school districts. The mix reflects institutional food service procurement at state-operated facilities (supported living centers, hospitals, correctional institutions) and K-12 school nutrition programs serving multiple school sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable and supplemental food products to supply state-supported living centers and state hospitals statewide—HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB, due October 23, 2026), HHS0017872 (Lufkin fiscal year 2027, IFB, due August 25, 2026), and HHS0016792V2 (statewide supplemental foods, IFB, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years).
