UNSPSC 50364507: Canned or jarred gandaria mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50364507 Canned or jarred gandaria mangoes is a Commodity code that in practice purchases shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local activity shows little procurement activity specifically tagged to gandaria mangoes. The recent opportunities posted under this code span school districts, state departments, county boards, and municipal agencies procuring broadly across canned and fresh produce, dried fruit products, and supplemental food inventories. The actual buying encompasses canned applesauce, fresh produce for cafeteria and nutrition programs, dried fruit bars, and mixed food commodities for correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, senior services, and school nutrition programs. These are typically unit-priced, firm-fixed purchases where compliance with USDA commodity specifications, FDA standards, and state Buy American provisions drives award decisions rather than brand preference alone; most solicitations permit "brand or equal" substitution.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases per solicitation) with historical unit pricing near $21.84 per case and a 10 percent Oregon-residency preference applied. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (proposals due August 24 and June 17, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years (bid deadline March 19, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Comptroller of Public Accounts jointly issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across five TDCJ warehouse regions (extended deadline May 4, 2026). Austin Independent School District and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited produce and food products under RFP and IFB methods respectively. The code shows active procurement primarily in food service supply chains rather than gandaria mangoes specifically.
