UNSPSC 50534514: Dried non GMO manila super mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO manila super 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 50534514 Dried non-GMO Manila super mangoes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little direct relevance to the nominal product. The records reflect food procurement across school districts, county and city governments, and state agencies, encompassing comprehensive grocery and meal service contracts with broad scope—fresh produce, boxed meals, catered senior dining, and supply distribution serving thousands of students and seniors annually. Dried mangoes, whether Manila varieties or otherwise, do not appear as line items or specification categories in any of the posted solicitations; instead, the code appears to have been applied to general food procurement opportunities where it does not match the actual scope of work being solicited. State and local procurement bodies issuing under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Schools, and others), county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Dallas, Texas; Meriden, Connecticut), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the State of Georgia.

The geographic distribution of recent activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia.
