UNSPSC 50554521: Canned or jarred non GMO sandersha mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO sandersha 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 50554521 Canned or jarred non-GMO sandersha mangoes is a Commodity code that state and local governments are buying primarily as part of broader food-service procurement for institutional meals, senior services, and correctional facilities rather than as a standalone item. The recent opportunities show procurement bodies soliciting shelf-stable canned fruits, processed fruits, and fresh produce under much wider scopes — mangoes appear as one line item within multi-hundred-line-item food-commodities bids that also encompass proteins, dairy, vegetables, condiments, and kitchen supplies. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county departments of community services, state correctional and health agencies, school districts, and municipal boards of education across multiple jurisdictions. State-level agencies such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and State of Georgia post frequently for institutional food supply; county school systems (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia) and city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education) also appear as repeat buyers. The work involves bid responses to IFBs and RFPs for food items with fixed pricing, delivery to central distribution points or individual school or facility locations, and compliance with USDA standards, Buy American provisions, and state-specific insurance and documentation requirements.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest — Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Chief Procurement Office), and Connecticut (Bridgeport) show recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026), and Texas HHSC's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with 210 line items and a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case in one July 2026 opportunity). None of the recent opportunities specifically name canned or jarred mangoes in their summaries, though the broader food-commodities procurements that carry this code designation would encompass such items as part of their fruit-product line-item offerings.
