UNSPSC 50524511: Non GMO kent mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO kent 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 50524511, Non-GMO Kent Mangoes (Commodity), reflects minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single relevant recent opportunity involves fresh produce procurement broadly, not Kent mangoes specifically. School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, with produce solicitations typically spanning dozens of fruit and vegetable line items in comprehensive annual contracts for child nutrition programs rather than targeting individual commodity types like mangoes.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Douglas County), with secondary activity in Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items including specialty items such as mangos and papayas (bid opening June 29, 2026); Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles, specifying 24 produce items without Kent mangoes by name (proposals due May 4, 2026); Liberty County Board of Education's IFBs for produce and food products (bids due April 29, 2026); and Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce to 16 school locations (sealed bids due April 14, 2026). The code shows little procurement-specific targeting of non-GMO Kent mangoes as a standalone commodity; when mangoes appear, they are one line item among 60 to 200 mixed-produce offerings in school nutrition contracts with annual values typically in the range of $78,000 to $4.4 million across multi-district cooperatives.
