UNSPSC 50304516: Mayaguez mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as mayaguez mangoes

UNSPSC 50304516 Mayaguez mangoes is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as part of broader institutional food service procurement, though recent solicitations show the code itself is rarely issued in isolation. Instead, state and local buyers tag opportunities for fresh produce, fruits and vegetables, and institutional meals under higher-tier UNSPSC families that encompass this commodity alongside dozens of other produce items and food products. The buying mix spans corrections departments, school districts, senior services divisions, mental health facilities, child care programs, and parks and recreation departments — all institutional food service operations that procure perishable produce on recurring cycles. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies running from small county school systems to state departments; Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers. The kinds of work solicited include weekly or bi-weekly produce delivery contracts to central food warehouses or individual facility locations, with vendors typically responsible for maintaining cold-chain logistics, meeting USDA quality and food-safety standards, and complying with state prevailing wage and domestic-sourcing rules where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing multiple RFQ notices (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) for fresh fruit and vegetable supply and delivery to correctional facilities in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville, with response dates in October 2026; the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting quotes for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026) under a small-business set-aside; Madison Metropolitan School District issuing RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFBs 4162 and 4163, due July 29, 2026) sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin; and the Bartow County School System in Georgia seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables from producers within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Broader grocery procurement opportunities naming produce as a component category appear from school districts in Bridgeport, Connecticut (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), DeSoto County, Mississippi (bid 3170035984, due June 22, 2026), and Hancock County, Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), all supporting National School Lunch Program compliance and Buy American provisions.
