UNSPSC 50364502: Canned or jarred ataulfo mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50364502 Canned or jarred ataulfo mangoes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect demand for the specific product — canned ataulfo mangoes do not appear in any of the opportunities listed. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring a broad range of food products for institutional feeding: canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria staples, and main-line food service. The code's narrow commodity scope (a single mango variety in preserved form) does not align with the actual procurement activity, which spans multiple fruit types, fresh and frozen goods, and full food service distribution contracts. State and local procurement officers appear to be tagging general food supply solicitations with this code despite minimal or no demand for canned ataulfo mangoes specifically.

The issuing bodies span school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and independent school districts in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and other states. School districts dominate the recent opportunities, with individual districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative) issuing IFBs and RFPs for annual food contracts. Notable repeat buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections (posting canned applesauce bids in May and July 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (issuing statewide food and consumables solicitations), and multiple Georgia school districts. The geographic spread is wide, with recent activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas (statewide), the Southeast (Georgia), Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026; the Texas HHSC Procurement and Contracting Services IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. The mismatch between the code name and actual buying activity suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or that demand for canned ataulfo mangoes specifically is not currently material in this market.
