UNSPSC 50344518: Frozen oro mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50344518 Frozen oro mangoes, a Commodity code, identifies fresh and frozen specialty produce items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and child care operations. Recent solicitations under this code span frozen berries, fresh produce (apples, berries, peppers, leafy greens, citrus, specialty items including mangos and papayas), dried fruits and nuts, and broad grocery categories that include frozen and fresh produce as line items within larger food service contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state health and human services agencies, with occasional county corrections and child care organizations. School nutrition authorities — including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and Fulton County Schools (Georgia) — appear repeatedly as solicitors for fresh and frozen produce under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program mandates. State-level institutional food service drives parallel procurement: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables covering frozen specialty foods for state hospitals and state supported living centers under IFB HHS0016792 (revised as HHS0016792V2) and IFB HHS0017449, with historical annual spend of $1.5 million at the El Paso facility alone. Federal child care funding also drives produce procurement — Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. issued IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements, with estimated contract value of $969,460.94.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, California, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries including frozen and fresh produce for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, melons, citrus, and specialty items like mangos and papayas (bids due June 26, 2026); the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products for the school board (bids due June 30, 2026); Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for frozen foods and produce meeting CACFP requirements (bids due June 24, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016590 for frozen fruit berries, approximately 40,000 pounds of IQF unsweetened berries in multiple varieties (bids due April 23, 2026, with historical pricing at $0.89 per pound from prior award to Pueblo Trading Company). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear in school nutrition solicitations; HACCP certification, food safety compliance, and 24/7 recall accessibility are standard requirements across all issuing bodies. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 aligned to the school fiscal year, with terms of one to five years and renewal options common.
