UNSPSC 50544510: Frozen non GMO keitt mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO keitt 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 50544510 Frozen non-GMO Keitt mangoes is a Commodity code that maps to school district procurement of fresh and frozen produce for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, though the recent state and local opportunities show limited direct solicitation activity specifically for this product line. School districts, county boards of education, and city school systems are the primary buyers soliciting under related fresh and frozen produce codes, with activity concentrated in Georgia and scattered across Connecticut, Missouri, and other states. The scope of work encompasses produce supply contracts serving student nutrition programs, typically spanning 72 to 300+ line items of fresh fruit, frozen items, and vegetable products delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites Monday through Friday during operating hours. School districts structure these as annual contracts running July 1 through June 30, with firm pricing, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51% domestic agricultural content, HACCP food safety compliance, and $1 million to $2 million general liability insurance requirements. Vendors must accept orders through district procurement systems (LINQ, Bonfire, NutriKids), maintain 24/7 recall accessibility, comply with Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and submit third-party references and food safety documentation at bid.

Recent opportunities under related produce codes center on Georgia school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative in February 2026 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, using line-item awards to multiple vendors. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited fresh produce (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) for 60 designated school sites across 72 produce items ranging from bulk apples (21,125 cases annually) to specialty items. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items, and the City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited grocery items with over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids on grocery items (due June 30, 2026) supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Missouri and Connecticut; no recent opportunities directly named frozen non-GMO Keitt mangoes specifically, suggesting this Commodity code sees minimal standalone procurement activity at the state and local level.
