UNSPSC 50304506: Francis mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as francis mangoes

UNSPSC 50304506 Francis mangoes is a Commodity code that represents single fresh-produce items state and local governments procure for institutional food service—in this case, mangoes specifically. Recent solicitations across the code show state and local buyers purchasing fresh produce, not mangoes exclusively; the code's nominal scope diverges from the work actually being solicited. The opportunities instead target a broad range of fresh fruits and vegetables delivered to correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior centers, and parks. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple fresh-produce solicitations for facility food warehouses (Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine locations), while Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health have sought produce deliveries for Joliet Treatment Center and Madden Mental Health Center respectively. School districts dominate the activity: Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, DeSoto County School District in Mississippi, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia, Bartow County School System in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, and Bryan County Schools in Georgia all issued RFBs or IFBs for fresh produce during the spring and summer of 2026. Head Start of Greater Dallas and the City of Edinburg Texas solicited produce and grocery items for child nutrition programs under CACFP. Municipal and county bodies including Collier County (Florida), City of San Antonio, and City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) issued produce and food-service contracts for parks, senior services, and school lunch operations.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Georgia school districts and Texas state agencies. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted three fresh-produce RFQs in September and October 2026 with response dates of October 14 and October 19. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin issued two RFBs on July 8, 2026—one for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, estimated annual value $78,000, bids due July 29) and one for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly, bids due July 29, contingent on federal grant approval). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories with a June 26, 2026 bid deadline and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Bartow County School System in Georgia requested proposals for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Head Start of Greater Dallas estimated procurement value of $969,460.94 for grocery products including frozen foods, produce, and meat for approximately 32,409 cases, with a June 24, 2026 bid deadline and a one-year initial term plus four optional one-year renewals. School districts typically require Buy American compliance (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance of $500,000 to $1,000,000, and delivery to multiple school sites between early morning and afternoon windows, Monday through Friday, with monthly or weekly cadences depending on the program.
