UNSPSC 50202503: Cranberry concentrate

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

UNSPSC 50202503 Cranberry concentrate is a Commodity code that sees limited direct solicitation in state and local procurement, with recent activity centered on institutional food service for schools, correctional facilities, and state healthcare providers that purchase juices and beverages as part of broader meal and nutrition programs rather than cranberry concentrate as a standalone line item. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, California Department of State Hospitals, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Illinois Department of Corrections), counties (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and cities (City of Edinburg, Texas; City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The code shows no concentration among repeat buyers—each jurisdiction appears once or twice in the recent-opportunities block.

Recent activity spanning January through July 2026 reflects that cranberry concentrate enters procurement primarily as a juice product (cranberry juice, cranberry juice cocktail) within larger beverage or grocery solicitations rather than as a raw ingredient for institutional processing. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017418 (July 15, 2026 response date) seeking dairy products and juices statewide for hospital and state-supported living centers across 20 Texas locations, valued at $1.6 million annually; the California Department of State Hospitals RFQ #25AG0022 (May 15, 2026 posting, May 15 response deadline) for bulk juices including 300 cases of cranberry juice in 46-ounce containers to Atascadero; and the Pinellas County School District's IFB 26JG021 (June 11, 2026 response deadline) for milk, dairy, and juice products to supply 117 district facilities over two years with an approximate contract value of $22.5 million. Geographic spread is concentrated in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, and California, with smaller activity in Missouri, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. The code shows strong activity in school nutrition procurement driven by USDA Child Nutrition Program compliance and Buy American requirements, but cranberry concentrate or cranberry juice represents a minor line item within multi-category food and beverage buys rather than a standalone procurement driver.
