UNSPSC 50304505: Francine mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as francine mangoes

UNSPSC 50304505 Francine mangoes (Commodity) covers fresh-mango procurement for institutional food service and nutrition programs at correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, senior services, and child-care operations. State and local buyers source Francine mangoes as part of broader fresh-produce contracts that typically bundle multiple fruit and vegetable line items to support meal programs. Recent solicitations show the code is active principally within school nutrition programs, correctional-system food service, and federally funded child and adult care food programs (CACFP), where mangoes appear as one item among dozens of produce specifications in comprehensive food-service RFPs, RFBs, and ITNs. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and district school nutrition programs, municipal senior services divisions, and child-care facility operators. The work involves specification compliance with USDA and state nutrition standards, delivery logistics to multiple institutional sites, temperature control, freshness guarantees, and quality inspections.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Florida, driven by recent school-nutrition and correctional-facility solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh-fruit procurement (including produce varieties) for facility food warehouses (solicitations IW267376, IW267420, and IW267411, responses due October 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections sourcing fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center on a bi-weekly schedule under a small-business set-aside (due September 3, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's fresh-fruit and vegetable snacks RFB (4163, due July 29, 2026, with a Wisconsin-sourced requirement within 400 miles); and multiple Georgia school districts soliciting produce for 2026-27 school-year nutrition programs (Dougherty County, Hancock County, Bryan County, and Bartow County, with bids due May through June 2026). Buy American provisions are standard in school nutrition procurements. Local-vendor and diversity-owned-business preferences appear in select awards. Contract values in school nutrition tend toward five-figure annual commitments; correctional and CACFP procurements often run higher. Response activity is current through October 2026.
