UNSPSC 50554518: Canned or jarred non GMO oro mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO oro 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 50554518 Canned or jarred non-GMO oro mangoes is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable preserved fruit products, though recent state and local opportunities show the code is being applied more broadly to general food service procurement spanning multiple commodity types rather than being limited to mangoes specifically. State and local governments soliciting under this code range across county governments, school districts, state departments, and municipal nutrition services, with issuing bodies including Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, the City of Bridgeport, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Scope varies widely: recent opportunities name canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables and proteins, and comprehensive multi-category food service commodities for correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services.

Geographic activity spans multiple states, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County), Illinois (Chicago and Quincy), Oregon (Salem), Texas (Austin, El Paso, and statewide), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-or-equal and brand-specific variants) due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem due July 31, 2026, with pricing historically awarded to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 11, 2026, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million. Buy American requirements and domestic content preferences appear frequently in school and state institutional procurements; Oregon offers a combined 10% preference (5% for Oregon goods, 5% for Oregon-based bidders).
