UNSPSC 50544506: Frozen non GMO francis mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO francis 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 50544506 Frozen non-GMO Francis mangoes, a Commodity code, covers specialty frozen fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and senior services departments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for fresh and frozen produce as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone mangoes—the code appears in broader produce and grocery bids where frozen mangoes are one line item among hundreds spanning fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, and shelf-stable staples. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with county boards of education and municipal school systems soliciting fresh and frozen produce to support federally reimbursed breakfast and lunch programs; county senior services departments and state nutrition agencies round out the buyer base. All recent opportunities enforce Buy American provisions requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, federal nutrition standards including sodium and whole-grain requirements, HACCP food-safety plans, and E-Verify workforce compliance.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce including specialty fruits such as mangos and papayas for the 2026-27 school year in an IFB posted June 10, 2026 with bids due June 26, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a June 8, 2026 due date for a line-by-line food bid covering 300+ food items. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department in an electronic bid process closing June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items including frozen products. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items due October 19, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a statewide food and kitchen-products bid due June 22, 2026. Frozen specialty mangoes compete within much larger product categories; standalone mango solicitations do not appear in recent records, indicating the code operates as a sub-line within consolidated produce or grocery procurement vehicles.
