UNSPSC 50354500: Frozen 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 frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354500 Frozen organic mangoes is a Class code that captures state and local government procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food products for schools, senior services, and other public-sector nutrition programs—not frozen mangoes specifically. Recent opportunities show school districts and county departments purchasing comprehensive food catalogs spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared items to support the National School Lunch Program and senior meal services. The mix of issuing bodies includes county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County), city school departments (Bridgeport Board of Education), county senior services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state-level food procurement (Georgia). School districts dominate the activity, with most solicitations covering 200–1,100+ line items of mixed food categories rather than any single commodity. Bid structures typically award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a firm fixed-price basis with no fuel surcharges permitted; contracts span fiscal or calendar years with options to extend.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education released an IFB for fresh produce (bid due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items including mangos, specialty fruits, and vegetables for the 2026–27 school year across three school sites. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60 non-food products (due June 8, 2026) supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, procuring for the Bridgeport Board of Education, sought bids on over 1,100 grocery items (due June 30, 2026) subject to Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic agricultural content and compliance with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026) for senior meal services. The State of Georgia also released a food procurement (due June 22, 2026) covering food, supplies, and other kitchen products. All school-district solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, nutritional standards, whole-grain requirements, and delivery to central warehouses and school sites on firm schedules.
