UNSPSC 50611782: Canned or jarred Non GMO zutano avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO zutano 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 50611782 Canned or jarred Non GMO zutano avocados is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure under this code as part of larger food service solicitations for institutional feeding operations — state agencies, school districts, and county departments typically bundle this item within broader consumables or fresh and frozen produce line-item bids rather than procuring it as a standalone product. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitations for Non GMO zutano avocados specifically; instead, the code appears in institutional food-service RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that encompass dozens or hundreds of food line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school cafeterias, and county senior services programs.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables for state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso between May and October 2026, with scopes ranging from 20 to 210 line items and estimated annual values from roughly $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year terms. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 spanning nearly 400 line items with delivery across multiple schools; Ben Hill's IFB #26271 closed June 15, 2026, and Burke County's sealed bid closed June 5, 2026 with anticipated award June 16, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (a related commodity) with bids due June 19, 2026. None of the representative recent opportunities explicitly named canned Non GMO zutano avocados as a line item; the code shows little focused recent activity and appears misaligned with the actual commodities being solicited under broader food-service line-item bids.
