UNSPSC 50202504: Grape concentrate

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

UNSPSC 50202504 Grape concentrate is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure grape concentrate primarily as a component of beverage programs serving institutional populations—children in school nutrition and child care settings, inmates in correctional facilities, and patients in state hospitals and supported living centers. Recent solicitations show grape concentrate appearing in broader food service contracts where it functions as one item among hundreds in comprehensive nutrition procurement. The City of Edinburg, Texas is soliciting beverages including 100% fruit juice for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children ages 1–18 daily (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Corrections is procuring certified Passover grape juice in 64 fluid ounce bottles for statewide correctional facilities (IFB 26-426DOC-CENTO-B-50766, due February 10, 2026). Issuing bodies span school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Pinellas County in Florida, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, multiple Georgia districts), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Department of Mental Health), correctional systems, and municipalities on behalf of child care programs. Most opportunities are single-line-item components within large, multi-category food service RFPs or IFBs rather than standalone grape-concentrate procurements.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple school districts and state agencies), Georgia (several school systems through cooperative purchasing), Connecticut (Bridgeport and Meriden), Florida (Pinellas County Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Illinois (Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health), and Pennsylvania (Montgomery County). The recent opportunity block shows no standalone grape-concentrate solicitations; all posted procurements listing grape juice or concentrate embed it within broader beverage or food categories. Evaluation across the opportunity set suggests grape concentrate moves primarily as an ingredient within larger food-service agreements rather than as a named commodity line. The concentration of activity in school nutrition programs and state-operated institutional food service indicates the code captures institutional bulk purchasing where beverages support compliance with nutrition standards and child-nutrition regulations, though the actual volume of state and local solicitations explicitly listing grape concentrate as a discrete line item appears limited relative to the broader food-service landscape.
