UNSPSC 50202423: Orange concentrate

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

UNSPSC 50202423 Orange concentrate is a Commodity code representing concentrated citrus juice products that state and local governments procure as components of broader food service and nutrition programs. However, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity directly matching orange concentrate specifications. Most opportunities instead request mixed beverage portfolios—dairy products, juices, carbonated beverages, and water—bundled into larger food service contracts rather than single-commodity procurements of orange concentrate alone. The issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Pinellas County School District, Hancock County Board of Education), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Education), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), and municipal food service departments. These jurisdictions are sourcing beverages and food items through IFBs, RFPs, and informal written quotes as part of child nutrition programs (CACFP, NSLP, Smart Snacks compliance), facility operations at state-supported living centers, and general school nutrition procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Connecticut, where multiple school districts and state agencies have posted solicitations since May 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts statewide procurement for dairy and juice products with scheduled deliveries to eight Texas Juvenile Justice Department facilities and Department of Public Safety locations (IFB 304T-27-380M1.2, due August 25, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission bid for dairy products and juices delivered statewide to 20 locations including state-supported living centers (IFB HHS0017418, due July 15, 2026); and the Pinellas County School District solicitation for milk, dairy, and juice products to supply approximately 117 district facilities with a two-year contract commencing August 1, 2026 (Contract 26JG021, due June 11, 2026). When beverages appear in these solicitations, orange juice and orange concentrate variants are typically listed alongside apple, pineapple, grape, and other juice types within larger commodity groups; activity remains mixed rather than concentrate-specific.
