UNSPSC 50524517: Non GMO mulgoba mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO mulgoba 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 50524517 Non GMO mulgoba mangoes, a Commodity code, describes fresh mango supply for institutional food service. State and local governments procure mangoes and other fresh produce as components of school nutrition programs, park concessions, healthcare facility food service, and county-wide produce distribution. The work spans ingredient sourcing for USDA-reimbursed meal programs, ready-to-eat produce prep and delivery, and seasonal supply management for multiple delivery locations. Issuing bodies include school districts (elementary, middle, and high schools), county boards of education, park and recreation departments operating food concessions, and healthcare facility coalitions. School nutrition procurement dominates the activity, with individual districts managing separate RFBs (Requests for Bids) and RFPs (Requests for Proposals) for produce categories and conducting line-by-line food commodity bidding on annual or multi-year cycles tied to fiscal-year budget cycles.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) solicited petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks in July 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested fresh produce spanning over 200 line items in June 2026; Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables in May 2026; and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a food bid covering 300+ items in May 2026. Marion Health Care Coalition (Oregon) requested produce proposals in August 2026. Geographic sourcing preferences appear in several solicitations—Bartow County and Madison Metropolitan imposed 400-mile local sourcing requirements, and Bartow County offered a 5% preference on diverse-owned business status for vendors certified under the Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program. No representative solicitations specific to mangoes appear in the recent block; the code's recent activity centers on generalized fresh produce and fruit categories rather than single-item specialty produce like non-GMO mangoes.
