UNSPSC 50304511: Kent mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as kent mangoes

UNSPSC 50304511 Kent mangoes, a Commodity code, covers the supply and delivery of fresh mangoes to state and local institutions, though recent solicitation activity focuses primarily on broader fresh produce categories rather than Kent mangoes as a standalone line item. State and local governments procure fresh produce—including mangoes among other fruits and vegetables—for correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, child care facilities, and regional parks. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and municipal school districts, county parks authorities, city departments of human services, and specialized nutrition programs such as Head Start affiliates and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. Texas Department of Criminal Justice emerges as a repeat buyer, posting multiple fresh produce solicitations for food warehouse distribution to correctional facilities; school districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas are the most active state and local purchasers of produce in the recent dataset.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's solicitation IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetables delivery to a Palestine facility (due October 19, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' request for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under small purchase procurement with a small business set-aside (due September 3, 2026), and Madison Metropolitan School District's bids for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), where the district prioritizes Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles and offers a 5% preference for diverse-owned business certification. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Procurement notices rarely specify contract values in available documentation, and response dates cluster in June through October 2026. Most solicitations employ sealed-bid or invitation-to-negotiate formats, impose Buy American provisions for school nutrition programs, require HACCP plans and food safety certifications, and demand delivery to multiple sites or consolidated warehouses with firm pricing structures that exclude separate fuel surcharges.
