UNSPSC 50524516: Non GMO mayaguez mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO mayaguez 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 50524516 Non GMO mayaguez mangoes is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single tropical fruit variety, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little direct alignment with mango procurement. The opportunities posted under this code span broad food service and produce categories — school district nutrition programs requesting fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk, county park food concessions, healthcare coalitions seeking produce vendors, and statewide food supply bids — but none explicitly specify mayaguez mangoes or non-GMO mango sourcing as a line item or primary scope. The issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), special-purpose jurisdictions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The code appears to reflect a tagging mismatch rather than active procurement demand for this specific commodity.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on the Southeast and Midwest, with opportunities posted from Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, State of Georgia), Florida (Collier County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and South Carolina (Marion Health Care Coalition). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring sourcing within 400 miles of Madison and within Wisconsin; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (including mangos and papayas among specialty items) due June 26, 2026; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026. These solicitations emphasize geographic preference, traceability by farm of origin, and compliance with federal nutrition program requirements, but none targets non-GMO mayaguez mangoes specifically, suggesting this code receives limited targeted procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.
