UNSPSC 50554514: Canned or jarred non GMO manila super mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO manila super 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 50554514 Canned or jarred non-GMO manila super mangoes is a Commodity code used by state and local governments to procure shelf-stable fruit products, though recent solicitation activity shows the code applied to a far broader range of canned and fresh produce than the code name alone suggests. State and local buyers under this code purchase packaged food items for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, state veterans homes, and health and human services agencies rely on canned and jarred fruits, applesauce, dried fruit products, and fresh produce under related commodity procurements. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport). The code sees no standout repeat buyer; instead, it reflects fragmented ongoing demand across multiple institutional food service operators.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (June 2, 2026 and July 31, 2026 due dates), each soliciting approximately 1,900–4,700 cases with a historical price near $21.83 per case and Oregon goods and resident bidder preferences of 5 percent each. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (March 19, 2026 due date), and a separate IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (July 13, 2026 due date) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across 382 line items to supply multiple TDCJ warehouses (May 4, 2026 due date, extended via addendum). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, proteins, and sauces (October 19, 2026 due date). Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly RFPs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in both brand-specific and brand-or-equal formats (August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026 due dates). State of Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce for 2026–27, June 26, 2026 due date), and Austin Independent School District (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, July 16, 2026 due date) also posted procurement activity. The code shows steady demand across a dispersed buyer base with no geographic concentration; the South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) account for the bulk of recent postings.
