UNSPSC 50554517: Canned or jarred non GMO mulgoba mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO mulgoba 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 50554517 Canned or jarred non-GMO mulgoba mangoes (Commodity) captures shelf-stable fruit products that state and local procurement offices source for food service operations across correctional facilities, schools, social services agencies, and institutional dining. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying canned and jarred produce as components of broader food-procurement packages—often alongside proteins, grains, condiments, and other shelf-stable items—rather than as standalone specialty purchases. The issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county nutrition and social services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Most recent solicitations bundle produce and fruit products within larger food-commodity RFQs, RFPs, ITBs, and IFBs rather than isolating mango products as a sole line item.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent postings from May through October 2026. A representative recent solicitation is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables (bid due March 19, 2026, contract value up to $4.5 million over three years) supplying state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, which included fresh, frozen, and canned fruit and vegetable products alongside proteins and dairy. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned-applesauce ITBs (S-29100-00017453, bid due July 31, 2026, and S-29100-00016975, bid due June 2, 2026) for 4,760 and 1,904 cases respectively, awarding to lowest-price responsive bidders and applying Oregon-goods and resident-vendor preferences. Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (bid due June 26, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (bid due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) represent multi-line-item commodity procurements where canned and fresh fruit are specified items within broader scope. The code shows consistent activity but does not isolate non-GMO mulgoba mangoes as a named procurement line item in recent state and local opportunities.
