UNSPSC 50304514: Manila super mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as manila super mangoes

UNSPSC 50304514 Manila super mangoes (Commodity) does not reflect the actual activity state and local governments pursue under this code. Recent solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly procure fresh produce—fruits, vegetables, and related items—in bulk for institutional food service, not mangoes specifically. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-fruit-and-vegetable bids (IW267376 for Palestine, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse) requesting proposals with October 2026 response dates. Illinois Department of Corrections sought produce for Joliet Treatment Center under small-business set-aside (due September 3, 2026). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix: Madison Metropolitan School District bid separately for petite bananas ($78,000 annual value, September 2026–June 2027 term) and fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacks (5,900 weekly servings, contingent on federal grant approval); DeSoto County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, and Bryan County Schools all posted fresh-produce RFBs or sealed-bid solicitations for school-year 2026–27 supply. Counties and cities add secondary volume: Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITN for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park; City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education sought over 1,100 grocery line items including produce; City of San Antonio Department of Human Services posted an RFP for produce-market operations at 15 senior centers. Head Start of Greater Dallas procured approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat (estimated value $969,460.94) with a pre-bid conference on April 16, 2026.

Procurement is concentrated in Georgia (at least six school districts posted produce bids in May–June 2026), Texas (TDCJ three separate food-warehouse bids plus Head Start and City of Edinburg CACFP procurement), Wisconsin (Madison school district), Illinois (Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health), and Connecticut and Florida. Representative work spans institutional meal service to children, seniors, and incarcerated persons. Texas and Georgia school districts drive recent volume; institutional buyers (corrections, mental health, senior services) and child-nutrition programs (CACFP, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program) anchor demand. Pricing structure varies by issuer—firm fixed-price with no surcharges (school districts), cost-plus-fee with weekly reimbursement (DeSoto County), and per-pound with local-vendor discounts (Madison). Delivery frequency ranges from bi-weekly (Illinois Department of Corrections) to daily before noon (Edinburg CACFP, Bridgeport Board of Education). Quality, HACCP compliance, Buy American sourcing (school districts), and liability insurance ($500,000–$1,000,000 general liability) are standard requirements. The code's nominal focus on mangoes bears no relation to documented procurement activity—it functions as a default catch-all for fresh-produce institutional supply.
