UNSPSC 50534520: Dried non GMO parvin mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO parvin 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 50534520 Dried non-GMO parvin mangoes is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy, yet recent state and local solicitations show virtually no procurement activity specifically for this product line. The code nominally describes a single specialized dried fruit item, but the posted opportunities in the source span broad grocery, produce, and meal-service categories that encompass hundreds of line items across breakfast cereals, proteins, fresh vegetables, fruits, dairy, beverages, and prepared meals—none of which isolate dried parvin mangoes as a line item or specification.

Across the recent opportunities, school districts and county governments dominate the buyer base: the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), and regional health authorities such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida). School nutrition programs account for the majority of activity, with smaller volumes in senior meal services and institutional food service. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (four recent bids) and across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, with secondary activity in Florida, Texas, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB due June 26, 2026, which lists mangoes among over 200 produce line items; Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods due February 25, 2026, with anticipated contract value of $3.1 million; and Douglas County School System's food-supply RFP due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $9 million serving 25,500 students. The code shows no recent procurement isolated to dried non-GMO parvin mangoes specifically; this is a commodity-level specification that does not surface independently in state and local school nutrition or institutional food-service bidding.
