UNSPSC 50304515: Manila mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as manila mangoes

UNSPSC 50304515 Manila mangoes, a Commodity code, covers fresh fruit supply and delivery to state and local institutions, particularly correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, senior centers, and parks departments. State and local governments procure mangoes and other fresh produce through school nutrition programs (particularly for meal services and fresh-fruit-snack initiatives), institutional food service for detention and mental health facilities, child and adult care food programs (CACFP), and senior center operations. Recent solicitations show significant procurement volume from school districts across multiple states, with Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Illinois Department of Mental Health conducting parallel produce purchases for multiple facility locations. The work spans both commodity-level purchases (individual produce items such as mangoes by specific case count and ripeness specification) and broader produce-supply contracts where mangoes may be one line item among dozens of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Issuing bodies pursuing this commodity include state corrections departments, state mental health agencies, county school districts, municipal school boards, city senior services divisions, county parks authorities, and specialized entities such as Head Start programs and child nutrition cooperatives. Texas Department of Criminal Justice emerges as a repeat buyer, soliciting produce deliveries to multiple food warehouse locations and correctional facilities. School districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas represent concentrated procurement activity, with many requiring weekly or bi-weekly deliveries of fresh produce meeting USDA standards and CACFP or National School Lunch Program compliance. Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Connecticut, and Mississippi, with school nutrition procurement driving the majority of volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations (IW267376 and IW267420, responses due October 19 and October 14, 2026, respectively); the Illinois Department of Mental Health's fresh fruits and vegetables contract for Madden Mental Health Center (proposals due August 14, 2026, small purchase procurement); Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas bid RFB 4162 (bids due July 29, 2026, annual contract value $78,000, weekly usage 70–90 cases); and DeSoto County School District's fresh produce distribution across 41 school sites (sealed bids due June 22, 2026, with bi-annual fixed-fee plus reimbursable-cost pricing on full and broken carton quantities). Most school-level procurements are IFBs or RFBs with firm fixed pricing, one-year terms with multi-year renewal options, Buy American compliance requirements, HACCP documentation, and delivery schedules tied to school calendars or facility operating hours.
