UNSPSC 50314511: Organic kent mangoes

The variety of organic mangoes known as organic kent mangoes

UNSPSC 50314511 Organic kent mangoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase fresh mangoes under this code as components of broader school nutrition programs, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct mango-specific solicitations. Instead, school districts across the Southeast—primarily Georgia and Wisconsin—are actively procuring fresh produce through consolidated bids that include mangoes alongside apples, bananas, berries, citrus, and stone fruits. The work being solicited reflects institutional food service procurement: weekly or twice-weekly delivery of produce in specified case volumes and ripeness stages to school cafeterias and nutrition departments, with strict quality standards (minimum shelf life, temperature control, traceability), HACCP plans, food safety certifications, Buy American compliance, and detailed specifications on pack sizes and portion counts. Issuing bodies are overwhelmingly school districts and school nutrition programs—Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bulloch County School District, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System—with one state-level procurement by the State of Georgia and one transit or institutional buyer (Hillsborough County Public Schools). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, reflecting the scale and frequency of institutional produce purchasing for child nutrition programs.

The code sees concentrated recent activity across Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (issued February 4, 2026, proposals due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million depending on geographic area; Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 (sealed bids due April 14, 2026) for fresh produce to 16 schools; Liberty County Board of Education's parallel IFBs for produce (PE68910NONST2026000000050, due April 29, 2026) and comprehensive food products; and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 (due March 11, 2026) for fresh produce and beverages emphasizing Good Food Purchasing Program alignment. Delivery requirements are consistent: weekly or twice-weekly service to multiple school sites during early morning hours (5:00 to 7:00 a.m. typical), firm pricing for 12-month contract terms, and evaluation heavily weighted to cost (30–50% of scoring). School districts are consolidating buys through cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative) and requiring vendor participation in federal food service programs (USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, National School Lunch Program). Set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are largely absent from recent Georgia and Texas school district solicitations, though some districts apply scoring preference for diverse-owned business status or geographic sourcing within defined radii (200–400 miles).
