UNSPSC 50304508: Haden mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as haden mangoes

UNSPSC 50304508 Haden mangoes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within fresh produce procurement, though the recent solicitation record shows that state and local governments buy mangoes as one item within broader fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements. The code does not reflect the scope of actual purchasing activity: the recent opportunities span institutional food service for schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior programs, child care organizations, and regional parks—all of which source produce in mixed lots that include mangoes alongside apples, bananas, leafy greens, root vegetables, and seasonal items. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with sealed bids and RFPs issued by Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia), Bryan County Schools (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), DeSoto County School District (Mississippi), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia). State agencies appear less frequently: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh produce solicitations (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) serving correctional food warehouses, and the Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health issued small-purchase specs for facility dining. Counties, cities, and nonprofit operators round out the buyer base—Collier County (Florida) solicited food-service concessions for a regional park, the City of Edinburg (Texas) and City of San Antonio (Texas) sought meal-program suppliers, and Head Start of Greater Dallas sought primary and secondary grocery suppliers.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia (eight opportunities across multiple school districts and the state procurement office), Texas (TDCJ and municipal procurements), and Florida—with secondary volume in the Midwest (Wisconsin, Illinois) and secondary presence in Connecticut and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitation for Palestine (IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and Snyder Food Warehouse (IW267420, due October 14, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated contract value $78,000); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposal due June 22, 2026). Most school district and institutional procurements run July-through-June cycles, with IFBs and sealed bids emphasizing lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder awards, Buy American or domestic-sourcing requirements, and pricing firm for the full contract term. Mangoes appear incidentally in multi-item produce specifications rather than as a dedicated line item, making the code a poor proxy for actual opportunity volume or value in this space.
