UNSPSC 50544525: Frozen non GMO van dyke mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO van dyke 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 50544525 Frozen non GMO van dyke mangoes is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a narrow product line, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal relevant activity for this specific item. The three school district solicitations in the source (Hancock County, Early County, and Bridgeport Board of Education) all include fresh and frozen produce across many line items — apples, berries, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, specialty fruits including mangos and papayas, and vegetables — but do not single out frozen non-GMO van dyke mangoes or frozen mangoes as a distinct procurement category. The Gwinnett County and State of Georgia opportunities target shelf-stable and processed food items, kitchen products, and supplies rather than frozen produce. School districts dominate the recent issuing-body mix, along with county governments and city departments managing food service for educational and community programs, and they are soliciting broad-line food distribution contracts under single RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices rather than commodity-specific procurements.

The recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and the State of Georgia) and Connecticut (Bridgeport), with bids due between mid-June and late October 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200+ line items due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education line-by-line bids for food and non-food products due June 8, 2026; and Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items through electronic bid due June 30, 2026. None of these solicitations isolates frozen mangoes as a procurement unit. A vendor targeting frozen non-GMO van dyke mangoes specifically would find limited recent demand signals under this code; opportunities instead flow through broad-line produce and food-service contracts where mangoes appear as one item among hundreds, typically requiring vendor qualification as a full-line distributor rather than a specialty-item supplier.
