UNSPSC 50354518: Frozen organic oro mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50354518 Frozen organic oro mangoes, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty fruit products but shows minimal alignment with what state and local governments actually buy under this specific code. Recent state and local solicitations in the opportunity block are tagged with this code yet are dominated by broad-scope school nutrition procurements — multi-hundred-line-item grocery and produce bids spanning proteins, grains, dairy, frozen entrees, condiments, and seasonal fruits and vegetables rather than any specialty mango variety. The actual buying activity under the code appears to be general school nutrition supplies, with only passing references to mangos embedded in wider fresh produce and grocery line items. School districts and county boards of education constitute the primary issuing bodies, supported by occasional state-level and municipal food service operations. These jurisdictions solicit annually for their National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts, typically with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plan requirements, and delivery to multiple school sites on set schedules.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary representation in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 grocery line items (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) for the Bridgeport Board of Education; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requesting fresh produce across 200+ line items (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) including apples, berries, citrus, melons, and specialty items such as mangos and papayas; the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri bidding over 900 grocery items for 2026–27 (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026); and the Douglas County School System in Georgia issuing RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). Mangos, when named, appear as one line item among dozens in multi-category produce or grocery solicitations rather than as standalone procurements, suggesting that the code's granular designation does not match state and local procurement practice, which groups specialty produce within broader fresh-fruit or general-grocery families.
