UNSPSC 50524519: Non GMO palmer mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO palmer 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 50524519 Non GMO palmer mangoes is a Commodity code covering specialty fruit procurement by state and local food-service operations, school nutrition programs, and healthcare facilities. The recent opportunities show limited direct sourcing of mangoes as a standalone line item; instead, mangoes appear as part of broader fresh-produce portfolios. State and local buyers under this code are primarily school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level procurement offices (State of Georgia). The work entails delivering fresh mangoes meeting specified ripeness, size, and temperature standards, often as components of larger produce contracts supporting school breakfast and lunch programs, water-park concessions, and healthcare nutrition services. Vendors must comply with HACCP protocols, food-safety certifications, traceability documentation by farm of origin, and delivery schedules aligned with institutional feeding calendars.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with representative solicitations including Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) specifying mangoes among 200+ line items for 2026–27 school-year delivery; Bartow County School System's local fresh-fruit and vegetable RFP (10-2026-019, proposal deadline June 22, 2026) requiring 400-mile sourcing and seasonal availability documentation; Madison Metropolitan School District's produce bids (RFB 4163, bids due July 29, 2026) for ready-to-eat fresh fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program; and Early County Board of Education's comprehensive food bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006, bids due June 8, 2026) including fruits among 300+ items. A Collier County parks concession procurement (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025) solicits food-service vendors for water-park and sports-facility concessions where fresh fruit would be a component offering. Most school-district bids emphasize domestic sourcing, organic options where available, and local or regional procurement preferences worth evaluation points or price discounts.
