UNSPSC 50334500: Dried organic mangoes

A tropical fruit commonly with a firm yellowish red skin, hard central stone, and juicy aromatic pulp, produced by an evergreen tree (mangifera indica) of the cashew family that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334500 Dried organic mangoes is a Class code that encompasses fresh and processed produce items state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, correctional facility food services, and other institutional meal operations. Recent state and local opportunities under this code reveal that school districts and state agencies are acquiring fresh produce — including mangos alongside apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty fruits — as part of broad food commodity buys rather than as isolated dried-mango line items. The solicitations show school nutrition centers and state correctional facilities as the primary buying bodies, with procurement conducted through IFB (Invitation for Bid) notices under firm fixed-price contracts spanning twelve-month periods. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear consistently across opportunities, and vendors must provide HACCP plans, food-safety certifications, USDA compliance documentation, and commercial general liability insurance.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce including mangos for the 2026–27 school year, with a June 26 response date and delivery to three school locations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities on June 2, 2026 (due June 26) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, covering 115 line items across multiple food categories. The State of Georgia issued a broader food supplies and kitchen products IFB on May 15, 2026 with a June 22 response date. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to supply five geographic warehouse areas, extended to May 4, 2026. A second TDCJ procurement, Bid IW236532, specifically targeted dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 bid opening, illustrating that dried fruit items do appear in state correctional-facility procurements, though dried mangoes as a standalone commodity have not appeared as a primary focus in the recent opportunities block.
