UNSPSC 50554503: Canned or jarred non GMO criollo mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO criollo mangoes that have been canned or jarred 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 50554503 Canned or jarred non GMO criollo mangoes (Commodity) covers shelf-stable mango products that state and local governments acquire primarily through food service procurement for institutional dining, senior services, and correctional facilities. The recent solicitation activity shows this code tagged to a broad range of canned and fresh produce buys rather than exclusively criollo mango sourcing; issuing bodies are using the code as part of larger food commodity frameworks that encompass proteins, vegetables, fruits, and consumables across multiple categories. The mix of recent buyers includes county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county senior services divisions, and independent school districts—spanning nutrition centers, correctional kitchens, supported living centers, and cafeteria operations. Issuing bodies are located primarily in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida area through Gwinnett County and Hancock County Schools) and in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest (Texas and Oregon), with activity also present in the Midwest and Northeast through Illinois and Connecticut.

Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, which enumerated 35 line items across canned proteins, vegetables, and accompaniments for the Department of Community Services; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year, bids due June 26, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, bids due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period; and Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historically. All solicitations require FOB Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and commercial liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence.
