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 rarely buy in standalone form—the code shows no recent solicitations for mangoes alone, though mangoes appear as individual line items within broader fresh produce and school nutrition procurements. Recent state and local activity under this code has been minimal and misdirected: the source records one unrelated grocery procurement by the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) for broad food service across over 1,100 line items, and one procurement by Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) seeking specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at eighteen elementary schools, but neither solicitation centers on Mayaguez mangoes as a primary deliverable. School districts, county boards of education, and city nutrition departments dominate procurement activity in the fresh produce space, issuing RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive produce assortments to support child nutrition programs, school breakfast and lunch service, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) operations, and federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, but these opportunities are classified under broader produce and grocery codes, not the Mayaguez mango commodity line. The geographic spread of recent fresh produce procurement spans Georgia, Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, California, and Oregon, with Georgia and Texas school districts showing the highest frequency of solicitations.

The code shows no distinct market concentration or recurring buyer base for Mayaguez mangoes specifically. When mangoes are itemized at all in school nutrition procurement, they appear as one of dozens of seasonal produce options (as in Hancock County Board of Education's 60+ item produce bid, Bryan County School Nutrition's multi-category fresh produce solicitation, and Dougherty County Board of Education's 40-line-item produce tender), not as a standalone or preferred commodity. The absence of dedicated Mayaguez mango procurement—despite heavy activity in fresh produce and institutional food service across state and local jurisdictions—indicates this code is either not actively used by procurement offices for categorical buys or is consistently bundled into broader produce codes. Pursuit viability under this specific code is limited; business development efforts would be better directed toward broader produce and food service family codes where school districts and nutrition programs actually solicit competitive bids.
