UNSPSC 50324511: Dried kent mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50324511 Dried kent mangoes is a Commodity code covering dried mango products that state and local governments procure as part of broader school nutrition and institutional food supply contracts. Recent solicitations show this code tagged to school district and state agency food service procurement, though the actual buying activity under this specific code entry is narrow — dried mangoes appear as line items within much larger fresh and processed produce bids rather than as standalone procurement vehicles. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state agencies (Georgia and Texas departments procuring food for corrections and nutrition programs). The work being solicited is the supply of dried mango products meeting USDA grade and food safety standards, typically specified in itemized line-item format with case sizes, unit counts, and delivery requirements to institutional food service distribution centers or school nutrition facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with documented solicitations from Georgia (Hancock County Schools and State of Georgia), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027, posted June 10, 2026, with response due June 26, 2026, includes mangos as one of over 200 fresh and specialty produce line items for the 2026–27 school year, with delivery to three school locations and Buy American requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. The City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB053266, posted June 2, 2026, with response due June 26, 2026, similarly lists mango and other fruit and vegetable products within a 115-line-item food commodities bid for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF, posted May 4, 2026 with response due May 4, 2026, encompasses approximately 382 food line items across multiple categories for institutional feeding, though dried mangoes are not explicitly named in the summary. Geographic spread and issuing-body concentration remain modest; the code does not show sustained or high-volume procurement activity at the state or local level.
