UNSPSC 50304509: Irwin mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as irwin mangoes

UNSPSC 50304509 Irwin mangoes is a Commodity code that covers individual mango varieties procured for institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a much broader range of fresh produce, prepared produce items, and related food service supplies rather than mangoes specifically. State and local procurement offices are buying fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, senior services, and detention facilities through this classification, with the work encompassing weekly or bi-weekly fresh produce distribution, specialty fruit and vegetable programs funded by USDA grants, and comprehensive grocery procurement spanning dozens of line items across multiple produce categories. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with individual districts and cooperative purchasing consortia conducting the majority of recent solicitations; other active buyers include county school systems, city departments of human services, and correctional facilities. A significant share of opportunities are driven by federal child nutrition program requirements—National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program—which shape delivery schedules, product specifications, and vendor qualifications across the board.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, where multiple school districts (Glynn County, Dougherty County, Henry County, Bryan County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Early County, and Bartow County in Georgia; McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, and Head Start of Greater Dallas in Texas) posted solicitations between February and July 2026, alongside school districts in Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, Mississippi, and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas, requesting proposals for CACFP meal supplies including produce, beverages, and paper goods with a response deadline of August 4, 2026 under RFP 2026-017; Madison Metropolitan School District, Wisconsin, issuing IFB 4162 for petite bananas with estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and bids due July 29, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia, requesting sealed bids for over 200 line items of fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 with responses due June 26, 2026; and the GEC Buying Cooperative, a consortium of 40 Georgia school districts, soliciting fresh produce and eggs distribution services for approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending across two geographic areas with proposals due March 4, 2026. Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed products) appear consistently across opportunities, as do HACCP plans, product traceability requirements, and insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million in general liability coverage. Delivery schedules are standardized—typically Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.—and most contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually with optional renewal periods of one to four years.
