UNSPSC 50344525: Frozen van dyke mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50344525 Frozen van dyke mangoes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no solicitations for frozen van dyke mangoes or any specialty mango products; instead, state and local buyers are procuring comprehensive grocery and food service supplies—proteins, dairy, produce, frozen foods, pantry staples, beverages, and consumable supplies—for institutional food service operations including state hospitals, supported living centers, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care providers. The code appears to be a miscategorization issue, as the opportunities posted under UNSPSC 50344525 span multiple commodity families including fresh and frozen produce, meat and seafood, dairy, grains, and food service supplies rather than a discrete frozen-fruit product line.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the code tag include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS, Georgia state facilities), county and city school districts across multiple states (Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, Florida), county corrections departments (Santa Clara County, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of education (Hancock County Georgia, Douglas County Georgia, Fulton County Georgia, Early County Georgia, Bulloch County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Georgia, Henry County Georgia), Head Start agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and municipal education departments (Bridgeport Connecticut, Decatur Georgia). Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia school districts and Texas state facilities, with additional activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, Oregon, and California. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for grocery items supporting the school lunch program (due June 30, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services for 32 schools (due February 18, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026). The code does not appear to be a useful market signal for frozen mango suppliers; vendors seeking state and local food service opportunities should evaluate the underlying commodity families for produce, frozen goods, and grocery items rather than rely on this specific code classification.
