UNSPSC 50202427: Tangerine concentrate

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

UNSPSC 50202427 Tangerine concentrate is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of juices and juice-adjacent beverages for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. Recent solicitations show the code applied to broader beverage procurement — particularly milk, dairy, and non-citrus juices — rather than tangerine concentrate specifically, signaling possible miscoding in some state and local systems or a shift in what is actually being purchased under this category designation.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, multiple Georgia districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and municipal government (Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania, City of Edinburg Child and Adult Care Food Program in Texas), and state departments of corrections (Illinois). The Pinellas County Schools procurement for milk, dairy, and juice products carries an estimated contract value of $22.5 million over two years, making it one of the largest tracked opportunities. Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Illinois, with particular concentration in school nutrition procurement across the Southeast. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026) for CACFP meal program supplies including 100% fruit juice and beverages for 400 children daily; Pinellas County Schools IFB 26JG021 (due June 11, 2026) for milk, dairy, and juice products across 117 facilities with a two-year contract commencing August 1, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017418 (due July 15, 2026) for dairy products and juices statewide with a historical annual value of $1.6 million. School districts typically apply Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act; all procurements require proof of insurance and HACCP food safety protocols.
