UNSPSC 50534507: Dried non GMO gandaria mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO gandaria 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 50534507 Dried non-GMO gandaria mangoes is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations actually procuring this item. The code's nominal scope is a single specialty dried fruit product; however, the 15 recent state and local opportunities posted between January and June 2026 that are tagged to this code instead reflect broad-based school nutrition, senior meal service, and institutional food supply procurement spanning hundreds of line items across fresh and processed foods, produce, groceries, beverages, dairy, proteins, and related supplies. The issuing bodies are exclusively K–12 school districts and county boards of education (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), one state agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), one county aging services authority (Hillsborough County), and the State of Georgia. No opportunities in the block specify dried gandaria mangoes or any dried specialty mango product as a line item, and only one opportunity (Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB) lists fresh mangos and papayas among over 200 fresh produce items.

This code appears to be a classification mismatch in state and local procurement systems. The opportunities reflect procurement at the Family or Class level (broad grocery, produce, or food supply categories) rather than the specific Commodity specified here. Practitioners should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to 50534507, as the actual procurement need—when identifiable from opportunity documents—lies in broader food service supply rather than a niche dried fruit product. Activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, Texas) and shows recurring demand from school nutrition programs with contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million (Texas HHSC facility) to $17.8 million (Hillsborough County senior meals) to $9 million (Douglas County food supply), suggesting sustained institutional food sourcing, but the specific dried gandaria mango commodity does not appear in current solicitations.
