UNSPSC 50324523: Dried smith mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50324523 Dried smith mangoes is a Commodity code covering dried mango products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities as part of broader fresh and dried fruit purchasing. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy dried mangoes alongside fresh produce, dried fruits, and other food commodities primarily for school lunch programs and institutional food service. The issuing bodies are school districts, state departments, and state correctional agencies; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posted opportunities in the May–June 2026 window that encompassed dried or specialty fruit items as part of larger food commodity buys.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 (sealed bids due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including mangos alongside apples, berries, and vegetables for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued electronic bid BNB053266 on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items of food commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable; the State of Georgia posted solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended to May 4, 2026 response deadline) for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas. All school nutrition solicitations enforce the Buy American Provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. Recent opportunities show mangoes listed as specialty items in broader fresh produce or food commodity packages rather than as standalone line items, which suggests limited standalone dried-mango purchasing at the state and local level in the current market window.
