UNSPSC 50344501: Frozen alphonso mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as alphonso mangoes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344501 Frozen alphonso mangoes is a Commodity code that captures specialty frozen fruit procurement, though recent state and local solicitations rarely tag frozen mangoes specifically—instead treating frozen fruit as part of broader grocery and produce contracts. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and institutional food services procurement offices solicit frozen fruit as a component of larger food-service awards spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, and pantry staples rather than as standalone line items. The code sits within institutional and child-nutrition food purchasing, where frozen specialty items support both regular meal service and specialized federal programs like the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, driven by school district nutrition programs and state institutional care facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted two major supplemental food procurements—HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital, IFB due July 27, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB due July 13, 2026)—both covering multiple frozen specialty foods within broader line-item awards exceeding $1.5 million annually. School districts across Georgia posted fresh-produce and frozen-food contracts through spring 2026, including Bulloch County (IFB due May 4, 2026 at 10:00 AM), Hancock County (IFB due June 26, 2026), and City Schools of Decatur (IFB due May 15, 2026). Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa issued a specialty fresh-fruit RFP for the USDA FFVP (proposals due March 11, 2026). Child nutrition and institutional food service dominate the issuing-body mix; only the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen berries (due April 23, 2026) and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) source specialty frozen fruit for correctional facilities. The code shows active demand but almost no sole-source frozen-mango activity—frozen fruit appears as one commodity within multi-hundred-line-item grocery awards where pricing, delivery capability, and compliance with HACCP and Buy American provisions determine success.
