UNSPSC 50534523: Dried non GMO smith mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO smith 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 50534523 Dried non-GMO Smith mangoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this product as a line item within broader food-service and nutrition programs, though the recent solicitations show minimal direct demand for dried mangoes as a standalone good — rather, they appear in comprehensive grocery, produce, and nutrition procurement that spans hundreds of food categories at once. School districts, county education authorities, state health and human services agencies, and city nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies. When a dried mango specification does appear in a bid, it is typically embedded in a fresh or processed produce list alongside apples, berries, citrus, peppers, and other commodity fruits. Recent school nutrition procurements from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) all solicited comprehensive grocery or produce contracts under IFB or RFP instruments; none of these notices specifically highlighted dried mangoes as a priority line item or standalone solicitation focus. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal delivery RFP similarly show food-service demand at scale without dried-mango specificity in available documentation.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Florida, with additional activity in Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, though state nutrition authorities (Georgia, Texas) and county commissioners (Hillsborough, Douglas) also participate. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), soliciting over 76 grocery items across 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution centers, and Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 026-41, due February 25, 2026), targeting approximately $3.1 million in annual supply value. The Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (SN 26-003, due February 18, 2026) sought a main-line distributor for approximately 32,000 meals daily with estimated annual spend near $9 million. None of these notices explicitly feature dried mangoes as a bid line, and the code shows no solicitations specifically targeting the product as a standalone commodity or specialty ingredient within state and local procurement activity in the tracked window.
