UNSPSC 50324500: Dried mangoes

A tropical fruit commonly with a firm yellowish red skin, hard central stone, and juicy aromatic pulp, produced by an evergreen tree (mangifera indica) of the cashew family that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324500 Dried mangoes is a Class code that captures commodity food procurement by state and local education agencies, but recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit broad fresh produce, grocery staples, and food service supply contracts rather than dried mangoes specifically. School districts, county education systems, and correctional facilities are the primary issuing bodies. The scope of work reflects institutional food service procurement—weekly delivery of fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty items to school cafeterias, nutrition centers, and detention facilities, typically under firm fixed-price annual contracts running July through June with Buy American requirements mandating at least 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. HACCP food safety plans, E-Verify authorization, and detailed nutritional compliance documentation are standard requirements. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with response due June 26, 2026; City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases soliciting commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center via IFB with electronic submission due June 26, 2026; and Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, with response due May 4, 2026.

Solicitation activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Missouri, and California, with additional school district procurement in Virginia. Douglas County School System (Georgia) appears as a repeat buyer, issuing separate RFPs for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (estimated $4.4 million for Area One) and food supply and distribution services (approximately $9 million annually for 32,000 daily meals). Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with sealed bids due April 27, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited over 900 grocery line items for child nutrition services with electronic submission due April 29, 2026. Santa Clara County (California) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to detention facilities, requiring all-or-none bids on five line items with response due February 5, 2026. The code shows no activity specific to dried mangoes as a standalone commodity—the recent record reflects general food service contracting where dried mangoes, if procured at all, appear as one item within much larger fresh and specialty produce line-item arrays.
