UNSPSC 50534512: Dried non GMO kesar mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO kesar 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 50534512 Dried non-GMO kesar mangoes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with the code's scope. The source contains no solicitations specifically for dried kesar mangoes or other dried specialty mango products. Instead, the opportunities span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service across multiple states—work primarily involving fresh produce, comprehensive grocery procurement, and meal preparation that falls under broader food supply families rather than a specialty dried fruit commodity.

School districts, county boards of education, and municipal purchasing bodies have posted the bulk of recent activity, with solicitations from Bridgeport, Connecticut (grocery items for school lunch), Hancock County Schools in Georgia (fresh produce), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia (master grocery K-12), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia (fresh produce), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (food for a state-supported living center). A few non-school procurements appear: Hillsborough County, Florida (senior meal preparation and delivery valued at $17.8 million over three years), the City of Dallas (boxed and bulk meal delivery), and Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut (commercial and USDA Foods with a contract value near $3.1 million). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina—with secondary activity in the Northeast and Texas. Because the opportunities do not procure dried kesar mangoes or related specialty dried produce, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors in that product category. Firms focused on standard fresh produce, grocery distribution, or institutional meal service may find opportunities in the broader food supply family, but the specific commodity code does not currently reflect state and local purchasing patterns.
