UNSPSC 50344508: Frozen haden mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50344508 Frozen haden mangoes is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen fruit items for institutional food service and school nutrition programs. State and local procurement activity under this code spans school districts, state health and human services agencies, county correctional facilities, and child care organizations across the South and West, procuring frozen and fresh produce as components of broader grocery and food service contracts rather than as standalone line items. Recent opportunities show frozen and fresh produce sourcing embedded within comprehensive food service RFPs and IFBs—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide supplemental food procurement (HHS0017660 and HHS0017449) spans frozen foods alongside proteins and dairy; the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery solicitation (BNB052266) includes frozen products within over 1,100 line items; and the Head Start of Greater Dallas procurement (IFB 26-GP) requests approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat under a weighted evaluation prioritizing unit price, product quality, and delivery reliability.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and California, driven primarily by school districts and state institutional food service operations. Representative recent procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids on supplemental food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-year spend of $1.5 million); Hancock County Board of Education seeking fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items including specialty items such as mangos and papayas); Head Start of Greater Dallas soliciting primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers for approximately $969,460.94 in frozen foods and produce under Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026); and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's annual fresh produce contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026, covering 72 line items with annual volumes reaching 21,125 cases for single items). Issuing bodies emphasize firm fixed pricing, delivery compliance with strict temperature and timing windows, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, Buy American provisions requiring domestic sourcing when available, and insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence. Most school district solicitations award contracts to single or multiple vendors on a line-item or lowest-responsive-responsible-bidder basis with initial terms of one year and renewal options extending up to four or five years.
