UNSPSC 50534509: Dried non GMO irwin mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO irwin 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 50534509 Dried non-GMO Irwin mangoes (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The source records show five recent opportunities—from the City of Bridgeport, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District—none of which explicitly solicit dried mangoes or dried produce. Instead, the opportunities cover broad food procurement: grocery items spanning breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, and fresh fruits and vegetables; food and consumable products for a state-supported living center; fresh produce including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, and specialty items (with fresh mangos and papayas listed among over 200 line items); senior meal preparation and delivery services; and packaged meal boxes for the summer food service program. The issuing bodies are school districts, county governments, a state health agency, and a county board of commissioners—all using state and local procurement processes (RFP, IFB, ITB) with Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content, HACCP plans, nutritional compliance, and firm fixed pricing.

The geographic spread covers Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with activity concentrated in school nutrition and senior meal programs rather than specialty dried-fruit procurement. While fresh mangos appear in the Hancock County fresh-produce RFB (due June 26, 2026) and dried non-GMO Irwin mangoes fit abstractly within a grocery or produce category, the code's Commodity designation—targeting a specific product line—does not map to any of the recent solicitations shown. The source provides no evidence of state and local demand for dried non-GMO Irwin mangoes as a standalone line item or commodity contract. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether recent opportunities have been misclassified or whether demand exists outside the sample window shown.
