UNSPSC 50524518: Non GMO oro mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO oro 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 50524518 Non-GMO Oro Mangoes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear almost no relation to the code's nominal scope. The single mango-related reference appears in a Georgia school district procurement (Hancock County) that lists mangos as one line item among 200+ fresh-produce items spanning apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and melons—a catch-all institutional food service buy, not a specialized mango supply contract. The overwhelming majority of recent solicitations under this code tag school nutrition programs and food service operations seeking broad fresh-produce portfolios, petite bananas, general fresh fruits and vegetables, and eggs, with only incidental mention of mangos as a minor commodity within larger mixed-produce contracts. This mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement content signals either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a code that has drifted from its original intent in practice.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County cooperative, Bartow County) and scattered solicitations in Florida (Hillsborough County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and weekly deliveries of 70–90 cases; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with bids due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs, covering 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026. If your firm pursues school nutrition supply contracts, this code will surface opportunities, but expect to bid on comprehensive fresh-produce and food-service portfolios rather than specialty mangoes or other single-commodity items.
