UNSPSC 50554508: Canned or jarred non GMO haden mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO haden 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 50554508 Canned or jarred non-GMO Haden mangoes is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable mango products acquired by state and local food service operations — primarily school districts, county social-service agencies, state correctional and health facilities, and municipal nutrition programs. Recent opportunities show these buyers purchasing canned and jarred mangoes as components of broader food commodity procurements rather than as standalone line items; mangoes appear among dozens of fresh and processed fruits in school nutrition contracts and in multi-hundred-line-item food-supply solicitations for state institutions. The work involves vendor qualification (insurance, references, compliance certifications), pricing discipline on unit-cost and per-ounce bases, adherence to USDA commodity or quality standards, and reliable delivery to multiple warehouse and campus locations on tight timelines, often with Buy American requirements enforced.

State and local purchasers are scattered geographically and by agency type. Recent solicitations span Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). School districts and state departments dominate the opportunity set, with state correctional and health facilities also active. Representative recent procurements include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 RFP for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, melons, citrus, and specialty fruits including mangos (due June 26, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables covering fresh, frozen, and dry products for state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (bid deadline March 19, 2026, max value $4.5 million over three years); and Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for approximately 382 cafeteria food-product line items across five geographic TDCJ warehouse regions (response due May 4, 2026). No recent opportunities target canned or jarred non-GMO Haden mangoes as a standalone or primary line item; the code shows limited direct-demand signals under this narrowly specified commodity classification.
