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, a Commodity code, nominally identifies a single produce line item but in practice state and local procurement under this code spans fresh-produce sourcing across school nutrition programs, municipal parks and recreation food services, and health-care operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and county governments buying fresh fruits and vegetables—including mangoes, bananas, apples, berries, citrus, melons, and leafy greens—as components of larger food-service contracts tied to meal programs, park concessions, and institutional dining. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County, Hancock County), and regional health coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Many solicitations emphasize local or domestic sourcing, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans), traceability by farm of origin, and organic or specialty varieties. Set-asides and preferences include diverse-owned business certifications, local-vendor address and residency requirements (Collier County's 10-point local preference), and geographic sourcing filters (400-mile radius requirements in Wisconsin and Georgia school RFBs).

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Upper Midwest. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce including mangos and papayas for the 2026-27 school year (bid opening June 29, 2026), Bartow County School System's May 2026 RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables with June 22, 2026 proposals due and contract award anticipated July 20, 2026, Madison Metropolitan School District's July 2026 RFBs for petite bananas (70-90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, bids due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly for elementary students, sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin, bids due July 29, 2026), and Collier County's October 2026 ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park including diverse food and beverage options (proposals due March 6, 2025, with 10-point local-vendor preference). Most school district contracts run July through June or September through June; payment terms typically Net 30 days. Liability insurance minimums range from $500,000 to $1 million. The code shows steady school-nutrition and municipal parks procurement but is often bundled with broader produce and food-service line items rather than isolated to single varietal purchases.
