UNSPSC 50364521: Canned or jarred sandersha mangoes

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

UNSPSC 50364521 Canned or jarred sandersha mangoes (Commodity) covers shelf-stable preserved mango products that state and local governments procure as components of broader food-supply contracts for institutional food service, particularly cafeteria and nutrition programs. Recent activity shows this code tagged to general food procurement notices rather than specialized mango-specific sourcing; the opportunities present reflect wide-ranging food commodity buys in which mangoes or similar canned fruits appear as one line item among many proteins, vegetables, grains, and other staples. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs), county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal boards of education. The State of Illinois has appeared multiple times in the recent record, soliciting quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy. State and local food-service procurement typically flows through IFB, RFQ, and RFP notice types with firm fixed-price unit rates and FOB destination delivery terms; most solicitations permit brand-or-equal substitutions and evaluate on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value based on price, compliance, and vendor performance history.

Geographic activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 weekly food order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers (due March 19, 2026, with an estimated three-year value of $4.5 million); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce ITB for 4,760 cases with a historical price of $21.84 per case (due July 31, 2026). Institutional food procurement in this tier typically bundles dozens of line items with quarterly or annual contract terms, delivery within 7 to 45 days of order, and delivery to central distribution centers or multiple school sites. Activity is consistent but not concentrated—the code does not dominate any single state's procurement calendar, and recent opportunities reflect mangoes as incidental to broader commodity categories rather than as a standalone procurement driver.
