UNSPSC 50534506: Dried non GMO francis mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO francis 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 50534506 Dried non-GMO francis mangoes (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within fresh and processed fruit procurement, though the recent state and local opportunities block shows minimal direct solicitation activity for this specific item. State and local governments do buy dried mangoes as part of broader child nutrition and food service programs, particularly school districts and institutional food service operations procuring against USDA commodity standards and Buy American requirements. The code sits within the broader fresh and dried produce procurement space, where jurisdictions solicit under more expansive scope codes covering comprehensive fresh produce, processed fruits, and mixed grocery categories that include mangoes as line items within larger baskets rather than standalone commodities.

The recent opportunities posted under or adjacent to dried mango procurement span school districts, state agencies, and county food service authorities across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with the most active recent solicitations targeting fresh produce and comprehensive grocery supply rather than dried fruit specifically. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, specifying mangos among 200+ line items; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million annual spending; and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) released RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries and USDA Foods with anticipated value around $3.1 million, encompassing diverse produce including processed items. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited 1,100+ grocery line items due June 30, 2026, under Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic agricultural content. These procurements use cooperative purchasing vehicles, target firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, require HACCP plans and food safety compliance, and award based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value. Dried mangoes as a standalone commodity see limited dedicated solicitation; vendors pursuing this code should focus on positioning dried mango supply within larger school nutrition and institutional food service bids across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, and Texas jurisdictions that regularly consolidate produce and processed fruit categories.
