UNSPSC 50544502: Frozen non GMO ataulfo mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO ataulfo 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 50544502 Frozen non GMO ataulfo mangoes is a Commodity code that covers specialty produce items purchased by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition programs and senior services. The recent opportunities recorded under this code show that state and local buyers solicit shelf-stable and fresh produce through informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), and electronic bid portals, with scope ranging from individual specialty fruit line items within larger food procurement to comprehensive fresh-produce contracts spanning 200+ items. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county commissions managing senior services, city departments of public purchases contracting on behalf of school boards, and state purchasing offices. School nutrition programs appear to be the dominant use case, with contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; senior services procurement also appears in the recent record. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and the State of Georgia) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), though the source does not indicate whether these represent the broader geographic spread of the code.
