UNSPSC 50524521: Non GMO sandersha mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO sandersha 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 50524521 Non GMO sandersha mangoes is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce items — specifically mangoes and related tropical fruits — that state and local food-service operations procure for schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and other institutional settings. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions are buying fresh mangoes and mixed produce under this and related codes, though the mango-specific demand appears embedded within broader fresh-fruit procurement rather than as a standalone line item. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county parks departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The work involves vendor qualification, quality assurance, food-safety compliance, HACCP planning, delivery scheduling, and pricing negotiation for institutional food service.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin, with additional activity in Florida and across the Southeast. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce including mangoes, papayas, and other specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year with a June 26, 2026 bid deadline; Bartow County School System (Georgia) seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables via RFP 10-2026-019 with a June 22, 2026 proposal deadline and a 400-mile local-sourcing requirement; Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) requesting bids for petite bananas under RFB 4162 with a July 29, 2026 deadline and weekly volumes of 70–90 cases; and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posting a line-by-line food bid encompassing 300+ items with a June 8, 2026 deadline. Geographic preferences, local-sourcing filters (particularly in Georgia and Wisconsin), organic-produce price preferences, and diverse-business-enterprise scoring appear in multiple solicitations. Most school-district contracts run July-to-June cycles aligned with academic years.
