UNSPSC 50524502: Non GMO ataulfo mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO ataulfo mangoes. 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 50524502 Non GMO ataulfo mangoes is a Commodity code representing the procurement of specialty mango varieties for food service operations at state and local institutions. State and local governments buy this commodity primarily as part of broader fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, county parks food services, and healthcare facility food operations. The recent opportunities show school districts and county agencies soliciting fresh fruits and vegetables as components of larger food-service contracts, with mangoes and other specialty produce items appearing alongside commodity fruits like bananas, berries, apples, and citrus. Issuing bodies include school nutrition departments, county park recreation divisions, county boards of education, and healthcare coalitions. The code sees activity primarily from school districts managing USDA-funded child nutrition programs and county agencies operating recreational food concessions.

Recent procurement activity spans Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year, due June 26, including specialty items such as mangos and papayas alongside apples, berries, and root vegetables. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) released two separate RFBs on July 8, 2026: one for petite bananas due July 29 at $78,000 annual value, and another for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin state lines, also due July 29, with geographic preference weighted at 15 evaluation points and a $0.20 per pound organic discount applied. Bartow County School System (Georgia) posted an RFP on May 21, 2026 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22. Collier County (Florida) issued an ITN on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points, due March 6, 2025. School districts consistently enforce Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic content), require HACCP plans, demand temperature-controlled delivery within narrow time windows (typically 5:00–7:00 a.m.), and apply local or regional sourcing preferences in scoring criteria.
