UNSPSC 50524524: Non GMO tommy atkins mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO tommy atkins 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 50524524 Non GMO tommy atkins mangoes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual produce procurement activity state and local governments are soliciting under this category. Recent school district opportunities in the source are tagged with this code but are buying comprehensive fresh produce assortments—bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty items—rather than non-GMO tommy atkins mangoes specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas under RFB 4162 (due Jul 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4163; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items across multiple categories, with bids due Jun 26, 2026; and Bulloch County School District sought 24 locally-grown produce items including watermelons, apples, strawberries, and greens through an RFP due May 4, 2026. The code appears to be a misclassification or residual tagging artifact in the procurement systems rather than a meaningful descriptor of the work being bought.

School nutrition programs across Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida are the primary issuing bodies driving activity, with school districts soliciting both narrow single-item contracts (bananas, apples) and broad produce frameworks through RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs. Liberty County Board of Education and Glynn County Board of Education each issued separate produce bids; Douglas County School System coordinated a multi-district fresh produce and eggs RFP covering 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one geographic area. McAllen Independent School District (Texas) and Austin Independent School District also solicited fresh produce for school nutrition programs with emphasis on domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, and in Austin's case, Good Food Purchasing Program participation. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin; most contracts run through the 2026-2027 school year with response dates clustered between February and July 2026. The code shows no recent activity specifically for non-GMO tommy atkins mangoes and should be treated as a weak signal for tactical business development purposes.
