UNSPSC 50304500: Mangoes

A tropical fruit commonly with a firm yellowish red skin, hard central stone, and juicy aromatic pulp, produced by an evergreen tree (mangifera indica) of the cashew family

UNSPSC 50304500 Mangoes is a Class code that represents mango supply and delivery to institutional food service operations, but the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct mango procurement. Instead, state and local governments are sourcing mangoes as part of broader fresh produce contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care operations. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, Early County, Bartow County, Collier County), municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg, City of San Antonio), and specialized providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts and correctional agencies appear as repeat institutional buyers requiring consistent produce supply with delivery schedules tied to meal cycles and specific product quality standards.

Recent solicitations show mangoes specified alongside dozens of other fresh fruits and vegetables rather than as standalone line items. Representative opportunities include Bryan County Schools (sealed bid for fresh produce including mangoes, due May 27, 2026), Bartow County School System (local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP with 400-mile sourcing requirement, due June 22, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce IFB specifying mangoes among 200+ line items, due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (fresh fruit and vegetable deliveries to food warehouses in Palestine and Snyder, RFP due October 19, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively). Activity concentrates in Georgia school districts and Texas state agencies, with secondary activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Contracts typically run July through June to align with school-year food service cycles; payment terms are Net 30 to Net 45 days; and all solicitations mandate Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general aggregate), and delivery to multiple sites on fixed schedules with no fuel surcharges. None of the recent opportunities isolate mangoes as a distinct procurement category.
