UNSPSC 50554519: Canned or jarred non GMO palmer mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO palmer 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 50554519 Canned or jarred non GMO palmer mangoes, a Commodity code, covers preserved mango products sourced to state and local institutional food-service operations — school districts, county nutrition centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and senior services departments. State and local buyers under this code typically source through larger, broader food-commodities solicitations that bundle canned and jarred fruits alongside proteins, vegetables, grains, and supplies rather than as standalone mango procurements. Recent opportunities show institutional food buyers issuing IFBs and RFQs for multi-line-item shelf-stable produce and consumables where preserved mangoes appear as one of many line items, with awards based on unit pricing, responsiveness to specifications, and best value rather than lowest price alone.

The issuing-body mix reflects the diversity of state and local institutional food service: county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), county social-services departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services in Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and fruits (response deadline October 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 supplemental food and consumables IFB for state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (bid deadline March 19, 2026, with award contingent on appropriations), and Oregon Department of Corrections' May 2026 canned applesauce ITB for approximately 1,904 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem (bid deadline June 2, 2026, with Oregon goods and resident bidder preferences of five percent each). All solicitations require FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA standards and FDA regulations, general commercial liability insurance, and firm fixed pricing for the initial contract term.
