UNSPSC 50534518: Dried non GMO oro mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO oro 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 50534518 Dried non-GMO oro mangoes, a Commodity code, is tagged to broader school nutrition and institutional food procurement solicitations where dried fruit appears as one line item among hundreds of grocery, produce, and consumable products, rather than solicitations specifically targeting dried mango vendors. State and local governments purchase dried mangoes as part of multi-category food supply contracts for school meal programs, institutional food service, and senior nutrition programs, typically bundled with fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, proteins, snacks, and other pantry items to meet dietary and nutritional standards. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), county commissioners (Hillsborough County), and state procurement offices (Georgia). Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content apply across school nutrition contracts. Recent opportunities show solicitations structured as IFBs and ITBs with firm fixed pricing, extended contract terms (typically 12 to 36 months), delivery to multiple sites on standard pallets, and compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards and HACCP protocols.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and South, with posted solicitations from Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida between April and June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for school nutrition (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce including specialty items such as mangos (due June 26, 2026), the Texas HHSC's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for a state-supported living center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026), and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 (due June 25, 2026). The code shows little activity specific to dried mango procurement; opportunities listed under this code are commodity-aggregation solicitations in which dried mangoes, if present, occupy a single line among large product catalogs.
