UNSPSC 50304523: Smith mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as smith mangoes

UNSPSC 50304523 Smith mangoes is a Commodity code, yet state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal directly relevant recent solicitation. Among 25 recent state and local food and produce opportunities, only one opportunity—Bryan County School Nutrition Program's sealed bid for fresh produce (May 2026)—explicitly names mangoes as a line item among 30+ produce categories. That solicitation covers fresh produce supply to Georgia school nutrition sites for the 2026-2027 school year with estimated annual usage quantities for mangoes not separately itemized. School districts, county education boards, and child nutrition programs dominate the recent activity under codes adjacent to this commodity, soliciting comprehensive produce baskets, fresh fruit and vegetable programs, and groceries for meal service rather than mangoes as a stand-alone SKU or specialty item. No recent opportunities position Smith mangoes specifically as a branded or varietal procurement focus, nor do any published solicitations name mangoes as a high-volume or contract-critical line item against which supplier differentiation on mango sourcing, ripeness, or grade would drive vendor selection or pricing negotiations.

Geographic concentration in school nutrition procurement spans Georgia (Bulloch, Bryan, Dougherty, Glynn, Henry, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham County school systems), Texas (McAllen, Austin independent school districts; City of Edinburg; Head Start of Greater Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden), Mississippi (DeSoto County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and Oregon (Central Point), with sporadic activity in other states. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and child nutrition programs pursuing RFBs, IFBs, and RFPs for bulk produce supply under USDA meal program contracts; no state produce wholesalers, specialty distributors, or vendors focused on premium varietal mangoes appear in the recent record. Cost competition on per-unit or per-case pricing dominates evaluation, with mangoes—when named—treated as commodity produce subject to Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, and treatment as substitutable fruit for weekly school meal rotations. No recent opportunity signals demand for branded, varietal, or premium mangoes as a differentiated procurement category in state and local food service.
