UNSPSC 50324506: Dried francis mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50324506 Dried francis mangoes is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader dried fruit and nut category. State and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying dried fruits as component items within larger school nutrition, correctional facility food service, and institutional cafeteria supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The recent solicitations show dried fruits appearing as one line item or product category within multi-hundred-item food service RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs—not as dedicated procurements for mangoes specifically. School districts, state correctional facilities, county sheriff's offices, and state food service operations constitute the issuing body mix, with school nutrition programs dominating the recent activity. These buyers source dried fruits through established food service distributors and specialty produce vendors as part of annual or multi-year master grocery and fresh produce contracts that also encompass fresh vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods.

Geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. The County of Santa Clara, California issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts (including dried tropical fruit mix, raisins, and cranberries) for its detention facility food service in January 2026 with a due date of February 5, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured dried prunes through bid IW236532 with a February 20, 2026 response date. Georgia school districts—Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Hancock County Schools—have posted IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce and broader grocery categories that include dried fruit line items as components of 72-to-900-item contracts with annual pricing fixed for the full contract term and delivery to multiple school sites. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) and Rockwood School District (Missouri) similarly solicited master grocery contracts encompassing dried fruits among dozens of other food categories. The code shows activity primarily within school meal programs and institutional corrections food service rather than standalone dried mango procurement; pursuit depends on whether your firm operates as a food service distributor or specialty dried fruit supplier positioned to bid dried fruits as one line item within larger institutional RFPs.
