UNSPSC 50324504: Dried edwards mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50324504 Dried edwards mangoes is a Commodity code that state and local governments purchase primarily as components of food service contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional cafeterias rather than as standalone line items. The recent solicitation activity shows that dried mangoes appear as discrete line items within much larger fresh and dried fruit procurement bundles. School districts dominate the buying pattern—Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) all solicited produce contracts that explicitly list mangos (typically fresh, but within multi-category fresh and specialty fruit scopes). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County's Sheriff's Department also procure food products for institutional feeding, though neither recent opportunity names mangoes specifically. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts of varying sizes, supplemented by state departments and county correctional agencies; all enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content (typically 51 percent for processed items) and USDA compliance including HACCP certification and food recall protocols.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with Georgia appearing in five recent solicitations (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), followed by Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Texas (TDCJ and state-level procurement), plus California (Santa Clara County). Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27, an IFB posted June 10, 2026, with response due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 fresh produce line items including specialty fruits (kiwis, mangos, papayas, starfruit) for three school delivery sites on an annual contract through June 30, 2027; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for School Nutrition Fresh Produce, an RFP posted March 22, 2026, due April 23, 2026, covering 72 fresh produce items with delivery to 60 school sites. A broader state-level Georgia solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, covers food supplies and kitchen products but full scope details are held in an attachment.
