UNSPSC 50534522: Dried non GMO sensation mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO sensation 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 50534522 Dried non-GMO sensation mangoes, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its narrow product scope. The source records span grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, and meal delivery services across school districts, counties, state agencies, and municipalities, but none specifically solicits dried mangoes or comparable specialty dried fruit items. While some opportunities enumerate fresh mango varieties (the Hancock County Schools fresh produce bid references mangos among 200-plus produce line items), the code's specificity to dried non-GMO sensation mangoes—a single processed fruit product—does not match the broader commodity categories actually being purchased under the recent solicitations flagged with this code.

School districts and county systems dominate the activity in this code family, pursuing master grocery contracts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), fresh produce annually (Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Hancock County), and comprehensive food supply (Douglas County, Meriden Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education). State agencies in Georgia and Texas, along with senior meal services in Hillsborough County, Florida, also appear. Geographic concentration reflects the Southeast, with Georgia leading (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County), followed by Connecticut (Meriden, Bridgeport), Florida (Hillsborough), Texas (Dallas, El Paso), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), and Virginia (Fairfax). Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport Board of Education's RFQ for 1,100-plus grocery line items with a June 30, 2026 due date; Hancock County Schools' IFB for over 200 fresh produce items with a June 26, 2026 close; Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial and USDA Foods with a February 25, 2026 award date and anticipated contract value of $3.1 million; and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. The code appears to be a misfiled or over-tagged categorization; prospective vendors should verify actual buying patterns before pursuing opportunities listed under this designation.
