UNSPSC 50354523: Frozen organic smith mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50354523 Frozen organic smith mangoes is a Commodity code that sits within a broader food-procurement ecosystem where state and local governments—primarily school districts—buy bulk produce and grocery items to support child nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope is narrow (a single mango variety), but recent activity shows that school nutrition procurement encompasses hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, condiments, and prepared items, all subject to USDA compliance, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content, nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and stringent food safety requirements including HACCP plans and documented recall procedures. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System; the State of Georgia and cities (Bridgeport, Decatur) also procure under related food codes. Vendors must maintain commercial general liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), meet E-Verify and federal debarment requirements, pass blind taste and specification testing at vendor expense, accept orders through district-specific systems (LINQ, NUTRIKIDS, Bonfire e-Procurement), deliver Monday through Friday between specified hours with freight prepaid, and comply with firm fixed pricing (often for 12 months, with escalation requests reviewed on a 3- to 6-month basis with supporting USDA or CPI data).
