UNSPSC 48101703: Milk dispensers

UNSPSC 48101703 Milk dispensers is a Commodity code that in practice covers the procurement of milk, dairy, and related beverage products for institutional distribution rather than dispensing equipment. State and local governments—primarily school districts—purchase these products under this code to supply student populations across multiple facilities on recurring contracts. The Pinellas County School District's recent solicitation for milk, dairy, and juice products illustrates the scope: a two-year contract to supply approximately 117 district facilities with daily delivery on a three-day / two-day alternating weekly schedule, with pricing structures that vary by product group (milk with fluctuating costs tied to raw milk indices, dairy and juice products with firm fixed pricing). Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts; the available records show school-district primary activity rather than municipal, county, or transit-authority purchasing under this code.

Recent activity centers in Florida and Georgia. The Pinellas County School District (Florida) issued an IFB (26JG021) due June 11, 2026, for a two-year milk, dairy, and juice supply contract valued at approximately $22.5 million including renewal options. Middle Georgia State University (Georgia) issued an eRFQ (58300ERFQ0000016112026) due March 6, 2026, for food service equipment procurement, though the materials provided do not detail whether this opportunity aligns directly with milk-dispenser scope. Vendors responding to school-district milk and dairy solicitations must obtain Level 2 background clearance under the Jessica Lunsford Act, submit product samples with complete packaging and nutritional specifications by bid closing, comply with the Federal Buy American Policy, carry general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, and integrate with the district's electronic ordering system. Response activity suggests state-level cooperative purchasing frameworks (Florida Department of Management Services contracts) may influence pricing and award decisions.
