UNSPSC 50304525: Van dyke mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as van dyke mangoes

UNSPSC 50304525 Van dyke mangoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying fresh produce—primarily mangoes alongside a broader spectrum of fruits, vegetables, and related food items—for school nutrition programs, child care food programs, senior services, and correctional facilities. The recent solicitations show that mango procurement rarely appears in isolation; instead, mangoes are listed as one line item among dozens of fresh produce categories in multi-item food service contracts. When mangoes do appear specifically, they command modest annual volumes (typically under 100 cases) relative to staple fruits like apples or bananas. School districts and county food authorities represent the dominant buyer base, followed by Head Start agencies, city human services departments, and county correction facilities. The scope of work encompasses sourcing mangoes to specification—typically requiring ripeness stages, pack sizes, and quality standards aligned with USDA guidelines and CACFP or NSLP regulations—with weekly or bi-weekly delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed items, though fresh mangoes carry limited domestic supply), and HACCP food-safety certification.

Georgia school districts dominate recent activity, with mangoes appearing as line items in at least seven fresh-produce solicitations posted between March and July 2026: Hancock County Board of Education (IFB SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System (RFP 10-2026-019, bids due June 22, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education (bids due June 16, 2026), Bryan County School Nutrition (sealed bids due May 27, 2026), Bulloch County School District (sealed proposals due May 4, 2026), Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, bids due April 14, 2026), and Liberty County Board of Education (bids due April 29, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas is procuring mangoes as part of a broader CACFP meal-supply contract (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) and McAllen Independent School District listed mangoes in its Child Nutrition Program RFP (proposals due March 6, 2026). A single Georgia procurement (PE55045NONST2026000000027) did not identify the issuing body. Mango procurement in school-food contexts remains secondary to apples, bananas, carrots, and broccoli; the code shows active but modest recent volume, concentrated in the Southeast, and most visible within multi-vendor, line-item competitive bids that award on lowest-price-per-unit basis across produce families rather than exclusive mango awards. No standalone mango contracts or sole-source awards are evident in the recent opportunity set.
