UNSPSC 50385004: Edwards mango purees

The variety of mangoes known as edwards mangoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385004 Edwards mango purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span shelf-stable pantry staples, canned fruit, fresh produce, dried fruit products, and mixed food and consumable supplies for institutional food service—none of which are Edwards-brand mango purees specifically. State and local buyers use this code to procure food items for schools, correctional facilities, senior services, state-supported living centers, and health and human services operations. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county commissioners' offices, independent school districts, and municipal nutrition centers. The procurement vehicles range across IFB, RFP, and informal written quote formats.

The most recent activity spans multiple states: Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026, due dates June 2 and July 31 respectively); Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide (IFB due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years); Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice has solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB due May 4, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026); State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued multiple weekly food order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (multiple due dates June–August 2026); Hancock County Board of Education requested bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026); City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center requested bids for 115 line items of commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce (due June 26, 2026); Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP due July 16, 2026); and Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical monetary value of $1.5 million (IFB due July 13, 2026). Bidders should note that Oregon applies combined 10 percent local preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders), multiple jurisdictions enforce Buy American provisions under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, and Texas entities require price adjustments correlated to the Consumer Price Index and require firm, fixed pricing for initial contract periods.
