UNSPSC 50202415: Ugli juice

UNSPSC 50202415 Ugli juice is a Commodity code that encompasses fruit juice procurement by state and local governments. In practice, state and local buyers under this code are purchasing a much broader category of beverages—specifically milk, dairy products, juices, and juice-adjacent drinks including carbonated beverages and sports drinks—to supply schools, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, county senior services, mental health facilities, and child and adult care food programs. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, state departments of education, county boards of education, city school boards, county commissioners, and transit authorities. Recent solicitations show active procurement by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Georgia Department of Education, Pinellas County School District (Florida), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the City of Edinburg (Texas), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), and the Illinois Department of Mental Health. These buyers treat juice as part of meal-service and nutrition-program compliance, often bundling it with milk, dairy, and related beverages under single RFPs or IFBs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB 304T-27-380M1.2 (Dairy and Juice Scheduled Deliveries, due August 25, 2026) covering 182 line items of dairy and fruit juices for delivery to eight Texas Juvenile Justice Department facilities and other state sites; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017418 (FY27 Dairy Products, Juices, Statewide, due July 15, 2026) covering milk, cottage cheese, and juices across 20 locations statewide with annual usage of $1.6 million and a three-year potential value of $3.2 million; the Georgia Department of Education's RFP 9060_1005_211 (Purchase & Delivery of Smart Snack Approved Categories, due November 2, 2026) for carbonated drinks, water products, juices, and sports drinks across Georgia schools; and the Pinellas County School District's sealed electronic bid for Milk, Dairy & Juice Products (due June 11, 2026) valued at approximately $22.5 million over two years serving 117 district facilities. Buy American requirements apply to most school nutrition procurements. Delivery schedules are typically daily or weekly to multiple sites, with firm fixed pricing common for initial contract periods and CPI or market-indexed adjustments permitted at renewal.
