UNSPSC 50202411: Satsuma juice

UNSPSC 50202411 Satsuma juice, a Commodity code, describes individual juice products state and local governments source for institutional food service, child nutrition programs, and resident nutrition at state facilities—but recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a much broader procurement reality that does not isolate satsuma juice or even single-item beverage purchases. Instead, the code appears in multi-category RFPs and IFBs that bundle juices with dairy, grocery staples, snacks, fresh produce, and paper goods into unified nutrition contracts. Issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Pinellas County School District in Florida, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county procurement offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), city nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas for a CACFP meal contract), state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Mental Health), and state educational agencies (Georgia Department of Education). The mix leans heavily toward K-12 school nutrition and state institutional food service. Texas agencies—HHSC particularly—appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations for juice, dairy, and mixed food products delivered to state-supported living centers and hospitals statewide.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Connecticut, with solicitations posted between May and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including beverages (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); the Georgia Department of Education's RFP for Smart Snack-approved beverages including juices to schools statewide (RFP 9060_1005_211, due November 2, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for dairy and juice products statewide to state hospitals and state-supported living centers (HHS0017418, due July 15, 2026, with an annual historical value of $1.6 million); and the Pinellas County School District's sealed electronic bid for milk, dairy, and juice products to approximately 117 district facilities on a two-year contract valued at approximately $22.5 million (due June 11, 2026). The code shows steady activity but is almost never solicited in isolation—satsuma juice or any single beverage typically appears as one line item among dozens or hundreds in comprehensive food-service contracts that award to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bidding, often with firm pricing for 30 days to one year followed by indexed price adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index or commodity indices.
