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, a Commodity code, describes fresh mango products that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, regional park concessions, and healthcare facility food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and county park systems buying fresh produce — including mangoes — through food-service procurement that emphasizes quality, food safety compliance, traceability, and competitive pricing. The work spans sourcing fresh fruit to specifications, delivery logistics, product freshness guarantees, and compliance with USDA food-safety and Buy American requirements where applicable. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments and their park departments (Collier County), and specialized procurement entities such as the Marion Health Care Coalition. School districts dominate the recent activity, with most solicitations including mango or general fresh-fruit categories within broader produce or food-service contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest: Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Florida (Collier County), and a statewide Georgia produce procurement by the State of Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013), due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items including mangos and specialty fruits with delivery to three school sites; Bartow County School System's local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP (10-2026-019), due June 22, 2026, requiring sourcing within 400 miles and emphasizing seasonal variety and local farm traceability; Madison Metropolitan School District's fresh fruit and vegetable snacks RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, requiring produce sourced within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison; and the State of Georgia's broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009), due June 22, 2026. Collier County's three-year food-services ITN (258360), due March 6, 2025, for park concessions also includes fresh fruit within its diversified menu scope and applies a 10-point local-vendor preference. School nutrition procurement typically weights cost at 40 percent, with secondary emphasis on food safety compliance, traceability documentation, and vendor qualifications; most contracts run academic calendar years (July through June) with options for renewal.
