UNSPSC 50524507: Non GMO gandaria mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO gandaria 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 50524507 Non GMO gandaria mangoes is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a single tropical fruit variety, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that scope. The most recent opportunities soliciting under this code involve fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, regional parks, and healthcare coalitions — covering broad categories of fruits and vegetables (bananas, apples, berries, citrus, melons, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty items) rather than gandaria mangoes specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education all posting produce solicitations in the May-July 2026 window. Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Marion Health Care Coalition, and the State of Georgia posted additional produce-related opportunities. The code shows minimal specificity to gandaria mangoes in actual procurement activity.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Upper Midwest. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFBs for petite bananas ($78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, with a 400-mile Wisconsin-sourcing requirement and a $0.20 per pound organic preference discount). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) bid fresh produce for school year 2026-27 on June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items including specialty items such as mangos and papayas. Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026, for a July 2026 through June 2027 term with four renewal options. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a comprehensive food bid due June 8, 2026, for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies. Collier County (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park on October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025 (note: due date precedes posting date, likely a data error), with a 10-point local-vendor preference. The code as currently tagged does not reflect the actual breadth of fresh-produce procurement occurring under it, and gandaria mangoes do not appear as a line item in any of the recent solicitations named.
