UNSPSC 50534510: Dried non GMO keitt mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO keitt 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 50534510 Dried non-GMO Keitt mangoes is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and processed fruit products for institutional food service, though the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under this code shows little direct procurement of dried mangoes specifically. Instead, the code appears in broader food and consumables RFPs and IFBs where fresh produce — including mangoes, other fruits, and vegetables — forms one line item within larger grocery or nutrition procurement scopes. State and local buyers using this code include school districts (purchasing for National School Lunch Program compliance), county health and human services agencies, city education departments, and county boards of commissioners. The work being solicited involves supplying institutional kitchens and food service operations with commodity-grade produce meeting Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items) and HACCP food-safety standards, all subject to strict nutritional labeling, allergen controls, and delivery scheduling requirements.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in the Southeast and mid-South. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items including fresh produce for the Bridgeport Board of Education under RFP BNB052266 with a June 30, 2026 due date; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning mangos, berries, vegetables, and citrus, due June 26, 2026; Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) solicited packaged meal boxes under Bid No. 609-26, due April 29, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery valued at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broad food and supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026. The code does not show specialized or high-volume dried-mango procurement — activity is limited and embedded within multi-item institutional food contracts where fresh and frozen produce dominates.
