UNSPSC 50544513: Frozen non GMO kuini mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO kuini 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 50544513 Frozen non GMO kuini mangoes, a Commodity code, describes specialty frozen fruit products procured by state and local education and social service agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying this product as part of broader food service contracts that span fresh produce, frozen items, shelf-stable groceries, and meal-support supplies for school nutrition programs and county social services departments. The work involves supplying frozen produce meeting USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), nutritional standards compliance, proper labeling, temperature-controlled logistics, and integration with school meal ordering systems such as LINQ School Solutions. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, city school districts, county social services departments, and state procurement offices; school nutrition programs appear to be the primary buyers under this code, with contracts typically spanning a full school year (July through June).
