UNSPSC 50324501: Dried alphonso mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as alphonso mangoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324501 Dried alphonso mangoes (Commodity) appears in school nutrition and correctional-facility food procurement with limited recent activity. The code nominally describes a single dried-fruit product, but state and local opportunities tagged with this code reveal a substantial mismatch: recent solicitations cover broad fresh-produce and food-commodity baskets — apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, proteins, dairy, grains, and beverages — with dried alphonso mangoes either as one line item among dozens or entirely absent from posted specifications. School districts and state departments issue the bulk of relevant solicitations, typically as IFBs with firm pricing, Buy American domestic-content floors (51 percent for processed products), and multi-location delivery requirements. Issuers include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; these entities treat food procurement as recurring annual or multi-year contracts with fixed terms and optional renewals, not one-off buys of a specialty produce item.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, and broader state-level purchasing. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, requesting bids on over 200 fresh-produce line items for delivery to three school sites, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Bridgeport Board of Education issued solicitation BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, covering 115 commodity line items for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026, through OpenGov e-procurement with MBE/CBE certification preferences under City ordinance. The State of Georgia posted PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five Texas geographic areas, originally due April 21, 2026, extended by addendum to May 4, 2026. A prior TDCJ solicitation (IW236532, posted April 23, 2026) specifically targeted whole pitted dried prunes for a Corpus location, due February 20, 2026, requiring U.S. Grade B certification. The code shows sparse direct activity; most tagged opportunities are broad-basket food buys in which mangoes or other specialty dried fruits represent minor line items, not primary procurement drivers.
