UNSPSC 50524509: Non GMO irwin mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO irwin 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 50524509 Non GMO irwin mangoes is a Commodity code that designates a single produce item, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent direct solicitation. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting non-GMO Irwin mangoes by name. Instead, the broader fresh produce contracting environment across school districts, counties, and special-purpose districts in the Southeast and Texas emphasizes comprehensive produce procurement—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus fruits, and specialty items—typically sourced through school nutrition programs supporting the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. When mangoes appear in procurement scope, they are listed as one item within large multi-line-item competitive bids spanning 60 to 400+ produce SKUs, not as standalone solicitations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) and one state agency (Georgia Department of Education), with school-based nutrition procurement dominating the activity.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with additional solicitations from Wisconsin and Florida. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce (spanning 200+ line items including mangos, due June 26, 2026) and Bulloch County School District's April 2026 RFP for local produce (24 items including specialty fruits, due May 4, 2026). Most school districts solicit produce competitively on an annual or multi-year cycle, typically commencing July 1 each fiscal year, with awards to lowest responsive bidders or multiple vendors on a line-item basis. Buy American provisions requiring domestic or 51-percent-domestic-content products are standard across solicitations. The Commodity code itself sees no standalone demand signal; vendors pursuing mango supply should target broader school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs where mangoes appear as one line item among dozens or hundreds of produce SKUs.
