UNSPSC 50364500: Canned or jarred 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 canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364500 Canned or jarred mangoes is a Class code that, based on recent state and local activity, represents a narrow commodity line within broader food service procurement rather than a standalone category—the code shows minimal direct recent solicitation but sits within larger institutional food purchasing cycles where canned fruit products move as component line items. State and local buyers soliciting under or near this code span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District), state corrections and health authorities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal nutrition services (City of Bridgeport). The work being procured is almost entirely food service supply—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and mixed food products for institutional kitchens, with delivery typically to central warehouses or school sites on weekly or scheduled intervals. Pricing is almost universally firm-fixed FOB destination prepaid, with minimum shelf life and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and Buy American Act requirements standard across the jurisdictions. Oregon Department of Corrections and school district nutrition programs emerge as repeat institutional buyers in the recent activity, each conducting annual or multi-year food commodity procurements.

Geographic concentration appears heavily in the Southeast and Texas, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Hancock County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Texas (HHSC El Paso, Dallas ISD, TDCJ), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood), Oregon (DOC), and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including specialty fruits and mangos (due June 26, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products with an estimated $1.5 million prior-period value and a question deadline of June 22, 2026. The code itself shows limited direct high-volume dedicated activity; most canned-mango purchasing appears subsumed within larger mixed-fruit or general commodity food lines rather than solicited as a standalone line item, suggesting modest procurement volume at the commodity level despite regular institutional food service demand.
