UNSPSC 50202303: Frozen juices

UNSPSC 50202303 Frozen juices (Commodity) represents a narrow slice of the broader school nutrition procurement that state and local governments execute regularly. State and local jurisdictions buy frozen juices as a component of comprehensive grocery and beverage solicitations aimed at child nutrition programs, cafeteria operations, and meal-service delivery to students. The code appears most commonly as part of larger food-service bundles—milk, dairy, produce, condiments, and proteins—rather than as a standalone line item, and the recent opportunities show juices typically bundled with other breakfast and meal-service beverages under broader family-level codes. School districts and county board of education child nutrition departments are the primary issuing bodies, supplemented by state human-services agencies managing institutional food service. Solicitations use the full range of notice types: RFPs for larger, multi-vendor competitive awards; IFBs for sealed-bid grocery procurements; and small-purchase RFQs for focused supply categories.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with the heaviest recent posting volume in Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Early County Schools, Henry County Schools, Burke County Schools, City Schools of Decatur), Florida (Pinellas County Schools, Seminole County Schools), and Texas (San Antonio ISD, Austin ISD, Northside ISD), alongside activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Illinois (Illinois Department of Human Services), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include the Pinellas County School District sealed electronic bid (IFB 26JG021, due June 11, 2026) for milk, dairy, and juice products to supply approximately 117 district facilities under a two-year contract valued at approximately $22.5 million with Group C covering non-dairy juice products under firm fixed pricing; the New Haven Board of Education RFP (2026HYRFPCNH366, due June 23, 2026) for dairy and juice products serving 17,500 to 19,000 meals per day across 224 service days annually; and the Illinois Department of Human Services small-purchase bid (27444DHSDEVDIB52815, due June 10, 2026) for juices to supply Shapiro Center in Kankakee for July through December 2026. Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP certification, compliance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutritional standards, and integration with school district electronic ordering systems are consistent requirements across the sample.
