UNSPSC 50534521: Dried non GMO sandersha mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO sandersha 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 50534521 Dried non-GMO sandersha mangoes is a Commodity code that designates a single specialty dried-fruit product line, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity directly aligned with that specificity. The code appears in a dataset of school nutrition and senior meal procurement, but the opportunities themselves request comprehensive grocery assortments, fresh produce, and meal services rather than dried mangoes in particular. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, for example, solicited over 1,100 line items of general grocery goods for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department under IFB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026), spanning cereals, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and dairy—not specialty dried fruits. Similarly, Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200+ line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, and specialty items such as kiwis, mangos, papayas, and starfruit (due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools sought a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) covering direct delivery to 45 schools and distribution kitchens with over 76 grocery line items (due April 27, 2026). School districts and county education boards dominate the issuing-body profile, supplemented by state health and human services agencies and municipality purchasing departments, all focused on meal-service support for K-12 nutrition programs, senior meal services, or institutional food operations.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in the Southeast—Georgia (Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 and 26-004, Bulloch County Board of Education IFB #043025, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34), Florida (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB-26-00289 for senior meals, estimated at $17.8 million over three years), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District Bid 609-26), and Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools RFP 026-41, estimated at $3.1 million for 2026-2027)—with secondary posting activity in Virginia (Fairfax County) and nationwide representation through state-level RFPs in Georgia. The procurement vehicles are predominantly IFBs and RFPs with response deadlines spanning February through July 2026. However, the mismatch between the code's nominal product (dried sandersha mangoes) and the actual buying activity (broad grocery supply, fresh produce, and meal services) suggests the tagging is either categorical overflow or a data-entry error; procurement professionals evaluating opportunity fit under this code should verify against the full solicitation documents to determine whether mangoes or specialty dried fruits appear in the line-item detail.
