UNSPSC 50544504: Frozen non GMO edwards mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO edwards 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 50544504 Frozen non GMO Edwards mangoes is a Commodity code covering specialized produce items in the school nutrition and institutional food service supply chain. State and local governments procure frozen mangoes almost exclusively through school district food service contracts that bundle produce with broader grocery and frozen-food offerings. The nine recent opportunities in the dataset show virtually no standalone frozen-mango procurement; instead, frozen mangoes appear as line items within comprehensive school nutrition RFPs and IFBs that span hundreds of products—breakfast items, cereals, proteins, dairy, fresh produce, frozen vegetables and fruits, condiments, and supplies. School districts and county boards of education are the primary buyers, purchasing to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), and firm pricing with transportation included. Vendors must meet detailed nutritional standards, whole-grain requirements, low-sodium formulations, product labeling with nutritional information, and food safety recall procedures.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with recent opportunities from Hancock County Board of Education (IFB due June 26, 2026), City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (IFB due June 30, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri (IFB due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia (Bid due April 23, 2026), Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP due March 4, 2026 and February 18, 2026), Early County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB due June 8, 2026), and the City Schools of Decatur, Georgia (IFB due May 15, 2026). The State of Georgia also solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a due date of June 22, 2026. Contract terms run July 1 through June 30 of the following year with renewal options up to three to five additional years. Pricing is firm for the contract period; escalation or de-escalation is permitted only with documented USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index evidence, and price increases exceeding 3 to 10 percent grant school districts the right to source elsewhere. Payment terms are Net 30 to Net 45 days from invoice and inspection. Frozen mangoes appear as minor line items within much larger procurement aggregates; standalone mango procurement is not supported in the recent data.
