UNSPSC 50304504: Edwards mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as edwards mangoes

UNSPSC 50304504 Edwards mangoes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the nominal product. Of the 31 recent opportunities tagged to this code, only one—the Bryan County School Nutrition Program's sealed bid for fresh produce (Posted April 27, 2026, due May 27, 2026)—explicitly names mangoes as a line item among approximately 20 produce varieties. The remaining opportunities span fresh produce broadly (apples, bananas, berries, carrots, leafy greens, tomatoes, peppers, and seasonal fruits and vegetables), grocery items including proteins and dairy, dried fruits and nuts, and specialty school nutrition products, none of which aligns closely with a single-SKU mango procurement. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all for produce-related solicitations rather than as a specific marker for Edwards mangoes or even mangoes generally.

State and local issuing bodies using this code are predominantly school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Oregon, with additional activity from city departments of human services (San Antonio senior center produce markets), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts), Head Start programs, and school districts serving child care and CACFP meal programs. The recent opportunities reflect established institutional demand for fresh produce delivery supporting National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and CACFP regulations, typically with weekly or bi-weekly delivery to multiple school or program sites, Buy American compliance requirements, HACCP plan documentation, and firm fixed pricing or cost-plus-fixed-fee structures. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bartow County, Glynn County, Henry County, and GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts) with significant secondary activity in Texas (Edinburg, McAllen, Austin), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden), and scattered activity in Oregon, Mississippi, and California. Without a dedicated source identifying mangoes as a procurement driver or Edwards mangoes specifically as a sought variety in institutional food service, this code warrants low pursuit priority unless your firm has existing relationships with school districts requesting mangoes by variety or is bidding broader produce contracts where mangoes appear as a seasonal or specialty line item.
