UNSPSC 50364501: Canned or jarred alphonso mangoes

The variety of mangoes known as alphonso mangoes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364501 Canned or jarred alphonso mangoes is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope—none of the posted opportunities actually solicit alphonso mangoes or any mangoes at all. Instead, the tagged opportunities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, broad food and consumable products for institutional food service, fresh produce, and eggs. The mismatch suggests this code is either incorrectly assigned to those opportunities in procurement systems or has drifted in practical use away from its stated definition. The actual buying activity appears to cluster around institutional food service supply—school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and other public facilities procuring multiple food categories on annual contracts with firm pricing, delivery schedules, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, and awards based on lowest responsive and responsible bidding or best value evaluation.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education) alongside state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia state entities, Connecticut municipal government). Geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon goods and Oregon bidder preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a March 19, 2026 response deadline; and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million for two geographic areas and a March 4, 2026 due date. School nutrition procurements dominate the recent activity, with most districts issuing annual IFBs for grocery items, produce, and food products on contracts running July through June with firm pricing for twelve months and evaluation weighted heavily toward price and compliance with USDA Buy American rules.
