UNSPSC 50324519: Dried palmer mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50324519 Dried Palmer Mangoes is a Commodity code that encompasses dried mango products procured by state and local school nutrition programs as component inputs within broader fresh and processed produce solicitations. State and local governments buy dried mangoes primarily as part of standardized nutrition supply contracts for school cafeterias and correctional facilities, where they appear as line items within large multi-category food commodity bids rather than as standalone specialty procurements. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state departments managing nutrition operations—Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, the State of Georgia (purchasing on behalf of multiple agencies), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posted produce-inclusive or food-commodity solicitations between May and June 2026. School nutrition programs are the primary buyers, sourcing dried mangoes alongside fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, and staple items to meet standardized meal requirements and compliance mandates including the Buy American provision requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products.

Recent activity centers in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26 response deadline, requesting over 200 fresh-produce line items including mangos for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a broader commodities solicitation (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, covering 115 line items for school nutrition delivery through June 30, 2027 with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice both issued food-commodity bids in May and June 2026 (Georgia PE55645NONST2026000000009 due June 22; Texas IFB 304T-26-300CF due May 4, extended to June 22 via addendum), though detailed scope and item-level specifications for dried mangoes are not separately itemized in the available summaries. School nutrition IFBs typically award to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid, require firm pricing for the contract period, mandate HACCP plans and food-safety certifications, and impose destination freight prepaid and specific delivery windows.
