UNSPSC 50534517: Dried non GMO mulgoba mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO mulgoba 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 50534517 Dried non-GMO mulgoba mangoes, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity submitted under it. The source opportunities—primarily K-12 school nutrition contracts, senior meal services, and institutional food service—show no solicitations for dried mango products specifically. Instead, issuers are procuring comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce categories spanning fresh fruit and vegetable programs, canned and frozen items, staple pantry goods, and prepared meals. The few opportunities that mention fruit varieties (such as Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce bid listing "mangos" and "papayas" among 200 line items of fresh produce, or Douglas County's produce-and-eggs RFP across 72 line items) refer to fresh mangoes and other items in bulk purchasing contexts, not processed or dried specialty fruits. Dried mango appears to be a niche line item within larger school nutrition and institutional food-supply contracts rather than a standalone procurement category.

The issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport Public Schools in Connecticut; Fairfax County, Bulloch County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Pascagoula-Gautier in Georgia and Mississippi; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia). Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, and Mississippi, with the largest opportunities running July 2026–June 2027. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026, response date covering apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items; Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating school districts with annual spending near $5.5 million combined and a March 4, 2026, deadline; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) with response date April 27, 2026, requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution centers. The code shows little relevant recent activity for dried or processed specialty mango products in state and local procurement.
