UNSPSC 50524503: Non GMO criollo mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO criollo 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 50524503 Non GMO criollo mangoes is a Commodity code that covers procurement of specialty fresh mangoes by state and local government food service operations. The recent solicitations show this code capturing fresh produce purchasing across school nutrition programs, county parks and recreation concession operations, and healthcare facilities. State and local buyers under this code procure mangoes as part of broader fresh fruit and vegetable categories — typically sourced fresh, inspected, and delivered to food service facilities on tight schedules with strict quality and traceability requirements. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, regional school districts, county parks and recreation divisions, and healthcare coalitions. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple bids structured around weekly or monthly fresh produce delivery during the academic year and specialized programs such as the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.
