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 state and local procurement offices rarely tag to solicitations for actual mango purchases; instead, the code appears sporadically in broad grocery and food supply contracts where mangoes may be one of dozens or hundreds of line items. Recent state and local solicitations filed under this code predominantly involve school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — spanning fresh produce, processed foods, dairy, meats, and supplies rather than dried mangoes specifically. School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, with occasional activity from state health and human services agencies and city purchasing departments serving senior populations or municipal meal operations. The scope of work under the code reflects institutional food procurement at scale: Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Hancock County Board of Education requested fresh produce across 200+ line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items such as mangos (IFB SN002-2027); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449, with historical annual spend around $1.5 million.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. The City of Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases sought grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering 1,100+ line items with Buy American requirements and firm fixed pricing; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) with estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90; Meriden Public Schools procured groceries and USDA Foods via RFP (RFP02641, proposals due February 25, 2026) with anticipated 2026-2027 contract value near $3.1 million; and Douglas County School System awarded a cooperative purchasing RFP (SN 26-004) for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51% domestic content appear consistently in school nutrition procurements. Pricing structures typically require firm fixed rates for the contract term with limited adjustments tied to USDA commodity reports or the Consumer Price Index, and delivery windows are tightly specified (often Monday–Friday, early morning to early afternoon). No specific recent opportunities have explicitly requested dried Keitt mangoes as a line item; the code's presence reflects categorization of broad food procurements rather than targeted mango supply.
