UNSPSC 50354516: Frozen organic mayaguez mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50354516 Frozen organic mayaguez mangoes is a Commodity code that describes a narrow specialty produce line item — organic frozen mangoes from the Mayagüez region — yet state and local government procurement activity under this code consists almost entirely of broad fresh and frozen produce solicitations for school nutrition programs. The gap between the code's specificity and actual buying patterns reflects how state and local procurement offices tag multi-line-item food service contracts with commodity codes drawn from the broadest eligible tier rather than drilling to individual SKUs. School districts, county boards of education, and city purchasing departments are the primary issuing bodies, with the work spanning both fresh produce supply (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus) and frozen grocery items (prepared entrees, vegetables, beverages, snacks, dairy). Vendors must meet stringent USDA compliance including Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, food safety certifications, and delivery to multiple school sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options spanning one to four additional years; payment terms are Net 30 to Net 45 days, and vendors must carry general liability and products liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million per occurrence depending on jurisdiction).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri school districts issuing IFBs and RFPs in the spring and early summer for the 2026–27 school year. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items with three delivery locations and firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for grocery items (over 1,100 line items) due June 30, 2026, supporting the National School Lunch Program with National School Lunch Program compliance and blind testing of samples. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items (over 900 line items) via NUTRIKIDS electronic bidding due April 29, 2026, serving nearly 19,000 students across a district with estimated volumes up to 500+ cases annually per item. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued a cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (estimated annual spending approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two) due March 4, 2026, and a separate RFP for main-line food supply and distribution (estimated $9 million annually) due February 18, 2026. All recent solicitations emphasize whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, domestic sourcing, and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards.
