UNSPSC 50524523: Non GMO smith mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO smith 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 50524523 Non GMO smith mangoes is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of fresh mangoes sourced without genetically modified organisms for consumption in institutional and commercial food service settings. State and local governments buy fresh mangoes under this code primarily through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, and healthcare coalitions that operate food service operations serving students, park visitors, and patients. The work involves sourcing, quality inspection, cold-chain compliance, delivery scheduling, and traceability documentation to ensure product freshness, safety, and compliance with food-handling regulations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county recreation authorities (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and healthcare organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition). Recent solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, delivery-window precision, temperature maintenance during transport, and domestic agricultural sourcing preferences where applicable.

Geographic activity spans Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County school systems), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County). Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (SY27, due June 26, 2026) soliciting over 200 line items including mangos and specialty fruits for three school locations with a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term; Bartow County School System's local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP (due June 22, 2026) requiring 400-mile sourcing radius and seasonal availability documentation; and Madison Metropolitan School District's fresh fruit and vegetable snacks RFB (due July 29, 2026) limiting sourcing to Wisconsin and within 400 miles of Madison, with 5,900 servings weekly for elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program. School districts consistently weight cost at 40 percent in evaluation and require proof of liability insurance, E-Verify compliance, affirmative action documentation, and farm-of-origin traceability. Collier County's food-services ITN for North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025) includes mangoes among concession offerings and applies a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses with Collier or Lee County permanent addresses.
