UNSPSC 50544517: Frozen non GMO mulgoba mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO mulgoba 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 50544517 Frozen non-GMO mulgoba mangoes is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and fresh produce for school nutrition programs, senior services, and food distribution operations. The recent opportunities posted under this code reveal a significant disconnect: while the code nominally specifies frozen non-GMO mulgoba mangoes specifically, the actual state and local solicitations are purchasing broad fresh produce portfolios (including apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits like mangos and papayas) alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food kitchen supplies. School districts and county nutrition departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with Georgia agencies — Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia — appearing repeatedly. The work involves line-item food procurement for National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51% domestic agricultural content in processed items, HACCP plans, temperature-controlled delivery schedules (typically Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), and compliance with nutrition standards including whole-grain and low-sodium requirements under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with the most recent opportunities spanning summer and fall 2026. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items including specialty fruits) with a June 26, 2026 bid due date and July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term. Early County Board of Education sought line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products with a June 8, 2026 due date. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items (1,100+ line items including frozen and fresh produce) for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with a June 30, 2026 electronic bid deadline and a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 term. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items through an IWQ with an October 19, 2026 deadline and December 7, 2026 final delivery date. The code shows robust recent activity but primarily reflects broad commodity food procurement rather than specialized frozen mango sourcing; firms should verify code alignment against specific school-nutrition or senior-services RFQs and IFBs before pursuing.
