UNSPSC 50534516: Dried non GMO mayaguez mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO mayaguez 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 50534516 Dried non GMO mayaguez mangoes is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single dried fruit product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code span broad food procurement for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply operations. The actual work being solicited includes fresh produce, grocery staples, prepared meals, and general food service consumables rather than dried mangoes specifically. School districts appear as the dominant issuing bodies, with individual districts and county boards of education posting multiple opportunities for produce, groceries, and meal components to support the National School Lunch Program and Child Nutrition programs; state health and human services agencies and county commissioners also solicit food and consumable products for institutional facilities and senior services. The scope encompasses fresh fruit and vegetable procurement (multiple apple varieties, berries, citrus, melons, leafy greens, root vegetables, specialty fruits including mangos and papayas), breakfast and lunch items, frozen products, condiments, and prepared meals, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items and full compliance with Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP food safety plans, and extensive insurance and background screening for vendors.
