UNSPSC 50524506: Non GMO francis mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO francis 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 50524506 Non GMO Francis Mangoes is a Commodity code covering fresh mango procurement for state and local food service operations. Based on recent solicitations, state and local governments buy mangoes primarily as components of broader fresh produce contracts serving school nutrition programs and regional park food services. The scope includes compliance with food safety regulations, traceability documentation, and sourcing preferences that vary by jurisdiction—some solicitations require domestic agricultural content; others specify local sourcing within defined geographic radii (typically 400 miles). Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county park and recreation departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate recent activity, driven by USDA nutrition program requirements and annual school-year contracting cycles.
