UNSPSC 50534524 Dried non-GMO Tommy Atkins mangoes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried mango products or any dried fruit items tagged to this code. Recent opportunities under the broader food-supply codes span fresh produce, comprehensive grocery assortments for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food distribution, but none identify dried mangoes as a line item or procurement focus.

State and local jurisdictions soliciting food products in the past six months—including Bridgeport, Connecticut; Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Hancock County Schools in Georgia; Hillsborough County, Florida; Fairfax County Schools in Virginia; and multiple other school districts and state agencies—have prioritized fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared meals for K–12 nutrition programs, senior congregate and home-delivered meals, and institutional food service operations. Dried tropical fruits, including dried mangoes, do not surface as a stated requirement in these procurements. If dried mango products are sourced by state and local buyers, they are either incorporated into broader food-supply contracts under catch-all commodity language or procured through cooperative purchasing vehicles not visible in current notice activity. This code warrants monitoring for future activity but does not present an active pursuit opportunity at present.
