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 is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this classification shows minimal direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. The source contains seventeen school district and state procurement opportunities across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin, yet none explicitly solicit mangoes, non-GMO certification, or specialty fruit procurement in isolation. The Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) in Wisconsin posted RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks; Hancock County Schools in Georgia solicited fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items including kiwis, mangos, papayas, and starfruit; and Bulloch County Schools in Georgia sought locally-grown produce including citrus and stone fruits. These opportunities treat produce as commodity components within larger institutional food service contracts for school nutrition programs, not as single-item purchases keyed to specific cultivars or certifications. The Commodity code 50524517 appears to capture a product specification (non-GMO mulgoba mangoes) that does not map cleanly to current procurement practice in the state and local market, which favors line-item bidding across diverse produce portfolios in annual school lunch and breakfast supply contracts.

State and local issuing bodies driving recent activity are exclusively public school districts and school systems—Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Bartow County, Early County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County (all Georgia); Hillsborough County (Florida); McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts (Texas); and Douglas County (Georgia) through the GEC cooperative. Geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Georgia school districts, with secondary activity in Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including mangos and papayas with bids due June 26, 2026, and Bulloch County Schools RFP for locally-grown produce sourced within 200 miles with proposals due May 4, 2026. These solicitations treat mangoes and specialty fruits as minority components within comprehensive institutional procurement vehicles, not as standalone items, suggesting minimal near-term pursuit opportunity under the discrete mulgoba mango Commodity code.
