UNSPSC 50324516: Dried mayaguez mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50324516 Dried mayaguez mangoes is a Commodity code that captures specialty dried fruit products supplied to institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent activity under this code shows state and local buyers procuring dried fruits as components of larger fresh and processed produce solicitations rather than as standalone line items. Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) lists mangos alongside apples, berries, and root vegetables as part of a 200-line-item annual supply contract; Liberty County Schools' food procurement (due April 29, 2026) encompasses dried fruits within a broader 400-item grocery and prepared-foods scope; and the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts ITB (due February 5, 2026) names dried tropical fruit mix as one of five commodity lines for correctional food service. School districts dominate the issuing bodies—Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System all appear multiple times in recent solicitations. One outlier procurement by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (prunes, February 2026) and Santa Clara County's correctional facility procurement show that state prison and detention food service also buys dried fruits under structured procurement cycles.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and South Carolina school districts posting the heaviest recent volume. Texas and California appear once each in the recent record. The sourcing pattern reflects Buy American requirements embedded in most school nutrition solicitations, which mandate 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products and drive vendors toward U.S.-sourced dried fruits. Response dates in the recent block span January through June 2026, with most school nutrition contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, indicating an annual procurement cycle. Dried mayaguez mangoes appear not as a named line item in any single recent opportunity but as part of broader specialty-fruit categories alongside papayas, kiwis, and tropical blends. Vendors entering this market face consolidated school-district purchasing through cooperatives (the GEC Buying Cooperative serves 30 Georgia districts) and multi-location delivery requirements, firm fixed pricing for 365 days or more, and compliance with HACCP, E-Verify, debarment certification, and minimum insurance thresholds of $1 million commercial general liability.
