UNSPSC 50554525: Canned or jarred non GMO van dyke mangoes

The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO van dyke 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 50554525 Canned or jarred non-GMO van Dyke mangoes, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, including corrections facilities, veterans homes, school districts, health and human services facilities, and senior services centers. The code captures purchases of canned and jarred fruit in various forms—applesauce, mixed fruit, and specialty items—typically specified by brand or approved equivalent, with delivery to central distribution centers or facility warehouses. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers standardizing on USDA commodity specifications, firm fixed pricing per unit or case, FOB destination delivery within 45 to 72 hours of order, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, state education agencies, county boards of education, county senior services, and independent school districts. The mix spans centralized institutional procurement for large-scale food service operations serving hundreds or thousands of residents or students.

Activity appears geographically dispersed across the South and West, with recent opportunities posted by the Oregon Department of Corrections (two canned applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, June through August 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables IFB in May 2026 and food and consumables IFB in June 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia (informal written quote for shelf-stable food items, October 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (fresh produce bid, June 2026), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut (commodities bid for school nutrition, June 2026), and Austin Independent School District in Texas (dried fruit bars and apple crisps RFP, June 2026). Oregon ODOC's applesauce ITBs reference a historical price of $21.83 to $21.84 per case; the Texas HHSC supplemental foods IFB carries a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Most opportunities use competitive bid or RFP methods with response dates typically 10 to 30 days from posting, require three to five vendor references, mandate commercial general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value. Buy American or domestic-content preferences appear in school district and state health procurements; Oregon offers a combined 10 percent local preference. No recent opportunities specifically name van Dyke mangoes; the code shows broader canned and jarred fruit activity, with applesauce and generic preserved fruit dominating posted solicitations.
