UNSPSC 48101703: Milk dispensers

UNSPSC 48101703 Milk dispensers (Commodity) encompasses the supply and delivery of milk, dairy products, and juice beverages to school district facilities on regular distribution schedules. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts, which purchase these products in bulk for serving students across multiple school facilities. The work involves establishing supply contracts with fixed or indexed pricing, managing inventory and cold-chain logistics across distributed delivery points, and meeting regulatory compliance including nutritional standards, food safety certification, and background screening for personnel accessing school grounds. Vendors must operate refrigerated delivery vehicles, maintain appropriate warehouse capacity, and submit product samples for organoleptic and nutritional evaluation before contract award.

The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida posted an ITB (26JG021) on September 28, 2026 with a response deadline of June 11, 2026 for milk, dairy, and juice products serving approximately 117 district facilities over a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals. The solicitation divides deliverables into three groups: Group A covers eight milk product lines (white 1% low-fat, chocolate fat-free, skim, lactose-free, whole, and buttermilk in half-pint and half-gallon sizes) with pricing indexed to the Florida Fluid Milk Report Class I raw milk prices; Group B includes dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, sour cream, and creamers with firm fixed pricing and estimated two-year quantities ranging from 20 cases of cream cheese to approximately 1.5 million individual yogurt cups; and Group C specifies juice products in 4-ounce and 6-ounce formats with mandatory line items from 100 units to 148,000 units and optional limited-time flavors. The estimated contract value is approximately $22.5 million for the initial two-year period including renewal options. Award will be made on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with successful vendors required to carry general liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence / $5 million aggregate for contracts $500,000 and over), automotive liability ($300,000 combined single limit), and workers' compensation coverage. The contract commences August 1, 2026 with deliveries on an alternating three-day / two-day weekly schedule between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to all operational school facilities.
