UNSPSC 50544501: Frozen non GMO alphonso mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO alphonso mangoes that have been frozen 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 50544501 Frozen non-GMO alphonso mangoes (Commodity) does not show meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its narrow product scope. The single recent opportunity that tags this code—Bridgeport, Connecticut's Board of Education grocery procurement (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026)—is a broad multi-category food service contract spanning over 1,100 line items including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products. The code's specialized focus on frozen alphonso mangoes represents a single commodity within a much larger procurement envelope. School nutrition departments, the primary issuing bodies in the recent opportunity block, buy frozen mangoes incidentally as part of comprehensive food service contracts rather than as standalone procurement categories.

Recent school district and state purchasing activity under or near this code occurs almost entirely in Georgia and Connecticut, driven by school nutrition programs serving the National School Lunch Program. Beyond Bridgeport's grocery bid, the source identifies no dedicated frozen-alphonso or specialty-produce-only opportunities. Other recent school nutrition solicitations in Georgia—Hancock County (fresh produce), Early County (food and non-food), City Schools of Decatur (frozen foods and grocery), Savannah-Chatham (fresh produce), and Douglas County (fresh produce and eggs via GEC cooperative)—all treat produce as line items within comprehensive food service contracts rather than as category-specific procurements. The code shows limited standalone demand signal; vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid frozen mangoes as one component of larger food service RFPs and IFBs rather than as a dedicated commodity line.
