UNSPSC 50524514: Non GMO manila super mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO manila super 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 50524514 Non GMO manila super mangoes is a Commodity code that identifies a single specialty produce item — fresh mangoes, specifically Non-GMO manila varietal — procured by state and local food service operations. The code sees limited direct-solicitation activity under its exact designation; however, recent state and local opportunities show that food service buyers—school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and county boards of education—regularly purchase fresh produce including mangoes as part of broader fresh-fruit procurement. These buyers source produce through RFBs, RFQs, and ITNs that typically group mangoes within larger fruit and vegetable line-item categories rather than as standalone items. When mango procurement appears explicitly, it is embedded in multi-item produce solicitations serving school nutrition programs, regional food services, and healthcare operations. The scope emphasizes food safety compliance (HACCP plans, traceability, E-Verify), quality-assurance standards (ripeness stages, temperature controls, minimum fill rates), delivery logistics to central warehouses or multiple school sites, and firm pricing across contract terms.

Geographic activity spans Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida in the recent record. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce across 200+ line items including mangos and papayas for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026. Bartow County School System (Georgia) posted RFP 10-2026-019 in May 2026 seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026 and contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) released RFB 4163 in July 2026 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and within Wisconsin state lines, with bids due July 29, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested food bids in May 2026 spanning approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, with bids due June 8, 2026. A Marion Health Care Coalition (unnamed state) posted a produce RFQ in August 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026. The code shows modest but consistent activity across school-district procurement in the Southeast and Midwest, with emphasis on local sourcing, food-safety documentation, and integration into broader produce supply contracts.
