UNSPSC 50554520: Canned or jarred non GMO parvin mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO parvin 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 50554520 Canned or jarred non-GMO parvin mangoes (Commodity) describes preserved mango products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for mangoes specifically; instead, the code appears in the broader context of food service and nutrition procurement where canned and jarred fruits are bundled with other shelf-stable items. State and local buyers using this code span county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, municipal school nutrition programs, and county purchasing offices acquiring food for senior services, institutional dining, and school cafeterias. Work solicited under the code includes purchasing preserved fruits as part of larger food supply contracts that encompass proteins, vegetables, condiments, and other staples needed for institutional meal service.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and fruits (due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 weekly food order for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a brand-or-equal basis (due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem (due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas in Texas (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). No recent solicitations explicitly name canned or jarred mangoes as a standalone line item or primary focus.
