UNSPSC 50202422: Minneola concentrate

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

UNSPSC 50202422 Minneola concentrate is a Commodity code that covers fruit juice and juice-related products supplied to school districts, correctional facilities, mental health centers, and other state and local institutions. State and local governments procure minneola concentrate and related juice products primarily as part of broader food-service and nutrition contracts supporting child nutrition programs, correctional meal services, and institutional food operations. Recent solicitations show juice appearing as a line item within multi-category food procurement rather than as a standalone product family—the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program includes "beverages (milk and 100% fruit juice)" as one of five supply categories; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide dairy and juice procurement names refrigerated and shelf-stable juices including orange, pineapple, apple, grape, mixed fruit, and tomato juice; and the Illinois Department of Mental Health's John J. Madden Mental Health Center sought weekly juice delivery in a small purchase contract. School districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and correctional facilities comprise the primary issuing bodies. Evaluation criteria across these procurements typically weight cost heavily (30–50 percent) alongside vendor qualifications, delivery capability, product quality, and compliance with nutrition standards such as the Child Nutrition meal pattern and USDA Buy American provisions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's FY27 dairy products and juices procurement (IFB HHS0017418, due July 15, 2026) covering juice delivery to 20 state-supported living centers statewide with historical annual value of $1.6 million; the Pinellas County School District's milk, dairy, and juice products solicitation (RFQ 26JG021, due June 11, 2026) for approximately 117 district facilities with total contract value approximately $22.5 million over two years; the Rockwood R-VI School District's child nutrition services grocery items procurement (due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items including beverages across a student base of nearly 19,000; and the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) requiring 100 percent fruit juice supply to 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas law. Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, compliance with National School Lunch Program and USDA nutrition standards, and firm fixed pricing for contract duration are standard conditions. Questions deadlines and pre-bid activity appear 7–14 days before response dates; addenda are issued routinely and distributed through procurement portals such as OpenGov and Bonfire.
