UNSPSC 50202500: Fresh berry juice or concentrate

Berry juices are made by extracting the liquid part of the fruit. Juices may contain a mixture of vegetables or fruits and will commonly retain the taste of the primary ingredient. Concentrate is a condensed liquid form of the product which has had the majority of its base component, primarily water, removed. Generally, concentrate solids do not contain pulp, seeds or rind.

UNSPSC 50202500 Fresh berry juice or concentrate is a Class code that encompasses juice beverages — primarily refrigerated and shelf-stable fruit juices in single-strength and concentrate forms — procured by state agencies, school districts, and other public bodies for institutional food service, child nutrition programs, and facility operations. Recent state and local solicitations show this code capturing dairy and juice bundled procurements, school nutrition beverage contracts, and institutional facility supply agreements where juice appears alongside milk, water, and other approved beverages under Smart Snacks or child nutrition compliance frameworks. The buying mix spans state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Mental Health), school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), and regional education authorities; Texas state agencies and Georgia school systems are particularly active recent buyers. The scope includes weekly or scheduled deliveries of 100-percent fruit juices (orange, apple, pineapple, cranberry, mixed-fruit varieties), flavored juice drinks, and shelf-stable juice concentrate to institutional kitchens and central warehouses, with product compliance requirements tied to federal nutrition standards and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent representative opportunities include the Georgia Department of Education's RFP for Smart Snack approved beverages including juices to schools statewide with proposals due November 2, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for dairy products and juices to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with bids due July 15, 2026 (estimated annual value $1.6 million); the Pinellas County School District's solicitation for milk, dairy, and juice products to approximately 117 schools through a two-year contract commencing August 1, 2026 (contract valued at approximately $22.5 million for the initial two-year period); and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' sealed-bid procurement for dairy and juice with scheduled deliveries to eight Texas Juvenile Justice Department facilities and other state agencies with bids due August 25, 2026. Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Illinois. Buy American requirements, federal nutrition compliance (Child Nutrition Act, Smart Snacks standards), and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act standards are standard evaluation criteria; delivery scheduling to multiple school sites and facility locations is a consistent operational requirement.
