UNSPSC 50304522: Sensation mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as sensation mangoes

UNSPSC 50304522 Sensation mangoes, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce supply to state and local institutions, though recent solicitation activity reflects a broader scope of fresh fruits and vegetables rather than sensation mangoes specifically. State and local governments procure fresh produce — apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and other fresh fruits and vegetables — primarily for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health institutions, senior centers, and child care operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school districts, county boards of education, city departments of human services, and regional health care coalitions. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple Georgia school systems (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County) and Wisconsin's Madison Metropolitan School District soliciting produce contracts. Correctional and mental health facilities represent a secondary but consistent demand stream, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health actively procuring produce. Solicitation notice types include sealed bids (IFB), requests for proposals (RFP), and invitations to negotiate (ITN), with response windows typically ranging from one to four weeks.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and California. Recent opportunities span the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Mississippi), Midwest (Illinois, Wisconsin), Southwest (Texas), and Northeast (Connecticut). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetables for multiple food warehouses (Wynne, Snyder, Palestine facilities; responses due October 14–19, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual contract value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, approximately 5,900 weekly servings for elementary students); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) seeking fresh produce across 200+ line items for 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System (Georgia) requesting local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026); Illinois Department of Corrections at Joliet Treatment Center seeking bi-weekly produce delivery with a small business set-aside (responses due September 3, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas seeking grocery products including frozen foods, produce, and meat products (estimated procurement $969,460.94, sealed bids due June 24, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent on processed items) appear in most school district solicitations. Local-vendor preferences and geographic sourcing requirements are common — Wisconsin's Madison district requires produce sourced within 400 miles and within state; Georgia's Bartow County specifies local farms within 400 miles; Florida's Collier County applies local-vendor evaluation points. Prevailing wage requirements and small business set-asides appear in several state agency procurements.
