UNSPSC 50534501: Dried non GMO alphonso mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO alphonso mangoes that have been dried for preservation. 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 50534501 Dried non-GMO alphonso mangoes, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct procurement activity from state and local governments; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried alphonso mangoes or close variant dried mango products. State and local procurement in the food-service space—particularly school districts, county nutrition programs, and municipal agencies—focuses heavily on fresh produce, bulk grocery supplies, and meal services rather than specialty dried fruit items. The code's narrow specificity (dried, non-GMO, alphonso variety) sits at the bottom of a commodity hierarchy where broader codes covering fresh produce, dried fruits generally, or specialty food items capture the volume of actual purchasing activity.

The recent opportunities spanning school nutrition procurement across Bridgeport (Connecticut), Hancock County (Georgia), Bulloch County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham (Georgia), Fairfax County (Virginia), Douglas County (Georgia), Meriden (Connecticut), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitations all request fresh produce, bulk groceries, and meal services—none target dried alphonso mangoes. A single dried-mango item or specialty dried-fruit line-item may appear within broader fresh-produce or grocery RFPs, but procurement professionals pursuing this code should recognize that state and local food-service buyers do not treat dried alphonso mangoes as a standalone category or primary ingredient driver. Activity under this code is likely sporadic, embedded in larger fresh-produce or general-grocery contracts where a dried-mango SKU is one line item among hundreds, or absent entirely from recent competitive solicitations.
