UNSPSC 50202419: Lemon concentrate

A condensed liquid form of the lemon fruit which has had the majority of its base component, primarily water, removed.

UNSPSC 50202419 Lemon concentrate is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy citrus juices and juice concentrates under this code primarily to support child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services operations. Recent solicitations show lemon concentrate and similar juice products integrated into broader food procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional meal services, and child care facilities rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies span school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Schools), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Mental Health), city governments supporting school food services (City of Bridgeport, City of Meriden), and county departments supporting correctional and child care operations. School nutrition programs represent the largest category of buyers, with juice products required to meet USDA nutrition standards, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance, and Buy American provisions specifying minimum domestic agricultural content.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Texas, with notable activity in Georgia (Muscogee County, Burke County, Hancock County, Douglas County schools), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Meriden), Texas (Edinburg, HHSC statewide), and Florida (Pinellas County). Representative recent solicitations include the Pinellas County School District's RFP for Milk, Dairy & Juice Products (IFB 26JG021, due June 11, 2026), spanning milk, dairy, and juice categories across approximately 117 facilities with a two-year contract valued at approximately $22.5 million; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017418 for Dairy Products and Juices statewide (due July 15, 2026) with a potential contract value of $3.2 million over two years serving 20 state-supported living centers; and the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026017 for CACFP Meal Program supplies (due August 4, 2026) requiring daily delivery of beverages including milk and 100% fruit juice to support approximately 400 children. Juice procurement consistently requires compliance with Buy American provisions, USDA commodity standards, nutritional content verification, and daily or frequent delivery schedules to multiple school or institutional locations.
