UNSPSC 50554510: Canned or jarred non GMO keitt mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO keitt 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 50554510 Canned or jarred non GMO Keitt mangoes (Commodity) covers shelf-stable mango products that state and local governments source for institutional food service, though recent activity under this code is sparse and the posted opportunities show minimal direct purchasing aligned with the nominal product specification. State and local buyers soliciting under this code span county social services departments, state corrections agencies, state health systems, school districts, and city nutrition centers—a typical mix of food-service-dependent institutions. The actual solicitation activity posted under this code in recent months does not specifically name canned or jarred Keitt mangoes as a line item; instead, the opportunities tag broader food procurement efforts that may include mangoes within larger produce or commodity categories. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) posted an IFQ for shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables but not specifically mangoes; the State of Illinois posted multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal food orders for veterans' homes and state institutions; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited comprehensive food and consumable products for state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities across multiple line items; and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and school districts in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia requested fresh produce and canned fruit products without mango-specific callouts in the available summaries.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, and Oregon, reflecting the geographic distribution of institutional food-service demand. The most directly relevant recent opportunity is the Oregon Department of Corrections' May and July ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (solicitation numbers S2910000016975 and S2910000017453, due June 2 and July 31, 2026 respectively), which target similar shelf-stable fruit products and offer a model for entry into state corrections food procurement; however, these solicitations do not reference mangoes. The code shows no standout repeat buyers explicitly named across multiple solicitations under the mango specification, and no recent posted opportunities appear to solicit canned or jarred non-GMO Keitt mangoes as a distinct commodity. Vendors should monitor broader UNSPSC family codes for processed fruit and institutional food sourcing to identify relevant opportunities in this buyer segment.
