UNSPSC 50554507: Canned or jarred non GMO gandaria mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO gandaria 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 50554507 Canned or jarred non-GMO gandaria mangoes (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent opportunities posted under 50554507 encompass broad food and consumable products for institutional food service, including shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy, bakery items, and kitchen supplies — not specifically or predominantly canned gandaria mangoes. State and local food service solicitations typically span dozens to hundreds of line items across multiple commodity categories; the code's narrow product name does not align with what issuing bodies are actually procuring at the line-item level. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state correctional and health agencies, municipal school districts, and county senior services departments. Recent activity shows solicitations from Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (May 18 and July 10, 2026, due June 2 and July 31 respectively), with historical pricing near $21.83–$21.84 per case for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases per procurement. Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including proteins, vegetables, sauces, and soups (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases across multiple quarters in 2026. Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two large IFBs covering supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2 and HHS0017449, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). Vendors should note that Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products apply in Georgia and Connecticut school nutrition procurements, and Oregon applies combined state-goods and resident-bidder preferences of up to 10 percent on food service awards.
