UNSPSC 50524525: Non GMO van dyke mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO van dyke 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 50524525 Non GMO van dyke mangoes is a Commodity code nominally designating a specific mango variety, but the recent opportunities sourced under this code show little alignment with the code's stated scope. The opportunities span general food-service provision (concession operations at regional parks), broad fresh produce procurement (general fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs and healthcare facilities), and specific produce items such as petite bananas and mixed fresh-fruit snacks. State and local governments are soliciting under this code for food-service operations at parks and recreation facilities, school nutrition programs under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program and National School Lunch Program, and healthcare coalition meal provision. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, independent school districts, boards of education, and healthcare coalitions. The code shows little recent activity specifically targeting non-GMO van dyke mangoes; instead, procurements are tagged with this code but seek diverse produce baskets or single items (bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables) that do not match the code's narrow commodity name.

Recent activity spans multiple states and procurement types. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food concession services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted separate Invitation for Bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with geographic sourcing within 400 miles of Madison). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested bids on fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB, due June 26, 2026) across over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty items including mangos and papayas. Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Marion Health Care Coalition (unspecified state) requested produce vendor proposals for 2026-2027 (due August 21, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026). Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested food and non-food bids for school nutrition programs (due June 8, 2026). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts, with one significant Florida parks operation and healthcare procurement in the recent pipeline. The code does not reflect focused procurement of non-GMO van dyke mangoes specifically; buyers using this code tag are sourcing general produce or specific commodity alternatives.
