UNSPSC 50544524: Frozen non GMO tommy atkins mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO tommy atkins 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 50544524 Frozen non-GMO Tommy Atkins mangoes is a Commodity code covering a narrow product line that state and local governments buy primarily for school meal programs and senior services. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show activity centered on general food procurement for school nutrition programs and county social services, not specifically frozen mango products. Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items to the Department of Community Services and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid for the 2026–27 school year exemplify the issuing-body mix — school districts and county departments managing meal programs and senior services are the primary buyers. The solicitations reflect broad food procurement across multiple product categories rather than a frozen-mango-specific market.

The most recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, with Gwinnett County (October 2026, IWQ due October 19), Hancock County Schools (IFB due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education (bid due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia (bid due June 22, 2026) all posting food and produce solicitations in the second and third quarters of 2026. Connecticut saw activity from the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (electronic bid due June 30, 2026 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items under the National School Lunch Program). The code shows little specific activity for frozen non-GMO Tommy Atkins mangoes — the representative opportunities list fresh produce (including specialty items such as mangos and papayas in Hancock County's 2026–27 scope) and general shelf-stable foods, not frozen mango products. Buyers typically award food contracts on a line-item or lowest-responsive-bidder basis, with firm pricing for contract terms running July through June, delivery to school central warehouses and multiple sites, and compliance with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products.
