UNSPSC 24112210: Milk can

A type of can used for milk storage and packing

UNSPSC 24112210 Milk can, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of milk and dairy products by state and local governments, particularly through school districts sourcing refrigerated and shelf-stable milk for student meal programs. State and local agencies sourcing under this code are primarily school districts acquiring milk in multiple formats (cartons, containers, bulk sizes) alongside complementary dairy products such as cheese and sour cream. The work encompasses compliance-heavy procurement involving Federal and State food safety standards, National School Lunch Program Buy American provisions, and nutritional specifications that dictate milk fat content, non-fat milk solids, and bacteria counts. Bidders must meet certification and regulatory requirements including active business entity registration, Health Department inspection reports, drug-free workplace affidavits, and debarment certifications. Contracts typically award on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible basis with flexible lot-structure terms (all-or-none, by-lot, or by-item) and require FOB inside delivery with specified delivery frequency.

The School Board of Seminole County, Florida, issued Invitation to Bid 25260070B-VG in September 2026 to procure milk and dairy products—including white milk (1%, whole), chocolate milk, flavored varieties, orange juice, cottage cheese, and sour cream in single-serving and bulk formats—for the Red Apple Dining Department serving 56 school locations. The ITB sought samples by March 6, 2026, with bid submission deadline of April 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST via WebEx; the contract carries an initial two-year term with an optional two-year renewal. Estimated annual volumes reach approximately 3.17 million units for 8 oz chocolate milk cartons alone, with pricing quoted FOB inside delivery using January 2026 FMO pricing and twice-weekly deliveries. A voluntary pre-bid meeting was scheduled for February 24, 2026. Recent activity under this code centers in Florida, with school districts as the dominant issuing body.
