UNSPSC 50554515: Canned or jarred non GMO manila mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO manila 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 50554515 Canned or jarred non-GMO manila mangoes is a Commodity-level code representing shelf-stable fruit preserves and specialty canned fruits procured by state and local food service operations, though recent state and local opportunities under this code show minimal activity specifically tied to manila mangoes. The narrow product specification — non-GMO certification and a single mango variety — limits direct hits; most recent procurement activity in this UNSPSC family clusters around broader canned and fresh produce categories for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services institutions, and county food assistance. When state and local bodies do source canned mangoes as part of mixed produce or shelf-stable food procurement, they typically embed the line item within larger food commodity solicitations rather than issuing stand-alone awards. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (school nutrition), state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city boards of education, and county community services departments. The sourcing pattern reflects the institutional food-service end use: correctional facilities, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and K–12 nutrition programs account for the bulk of recent activity.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The most recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requesting approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for the Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (multiple quarterly contracts issued June–August 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, and 1,904 cases, due June 2, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years, due March 19, 2026); and the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting fresh produce including specialty items and melons for the 2026–27 school year (over 200 line items, due June 26, 2026). No recent solicitations explicitly request canned or jarred non-GMO manila mangoes as a distinct line item or stand-alone award.
