UNSPSC 50304521: Sandersha mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as sandersha mangoes

UNSPSC 50304521 Sandersha mangoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure fresh mangoes—specifically the Sandersha variety—for child nutrition programs, school meal services, and senior services. Recent solicitations show mangoes appearing as line items within broader produce procurement initiatives for school districts, Head Start programs, and community nutrition services rather than as standalone commodity buys. The issuing bodies range from school nutrition programs at independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Muscogee County, Bryan County, Glynn County, and others across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Florida) to centralized buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts) and specialized food-service agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of San Antonio Senior Services). School districts dominate the market, with most solicitations seeking multiple produce varieties bundled under broader fresh-produce contracts rather than Sandersha mangoes alone.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. Recent representative solicitations include the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million annually, Bulloch County School District's local-produce IFP (due May 4, 2026) listing mangoes among 24 produce items sourced within 200 miles, and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) specifying mangoes and papayas among over 200 line items. Mangoes appear consistently in school lunch and breakfast programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program service, and child and adult care food programs (CACFP). The code shows active procurement interest, but mangoes typically compete as one among dozens of produce line items in competitive produce contracts; successful vendors must meet broad qualification thresholds including HACCP plans, food safety certifications, insurance minimums, Buy American compliance, and ability to deliver weekly to multiple school sites on tight morning timelines.
