UNSPSC 50524508: Non GMO haden mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO haden 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 50524508 Non GMO Haden mangoes (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific mango variety, yet the most recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged under this classification cover bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, multi-produce school nutrition contracts, and beverages — not mangoes. The lone mango reference appears incidentally in a multi-item procurement by Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including specialty fruits, but no solicitation specifically targets Haden mangoes or any mango variety as a primary procurement focus. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas school systems, some leveraging cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. Recent opportunities instead reflect broad institutional food service demand for generic fresh produce to support National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs.

The geographic spread is limited to Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin, with Georgia school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, Douglas County via GEC) accounting for the plurality of recent posting activity. A representative recent opportunity is Madison Metropolitan School District's July 2026 RFB 4162 for petite bananas with a July 29, 2026 response date and estimated annual contract value of $78,000, requiring weekly deliveries and HACCP compliance. Another is Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (June 2026 due date) spanning over 200 line items with July 1, 2026 contract start and mangos listed as one commodity among many. The code's mismatch with actual recent solicitations — none of which isolate Haden mangoes as a standalone purchase — indicates limited or misdirected procurement activity under this specific commodity classification. Vendors pursuing mango supply should monitor broader fresh-produce and specialty-fruit RFPs rather than expect solicitations keyed specifically to this code.
