UNSPSC 50202507: Boysenberry juice

UNSPSC 50202507 Boysenberry juice (Commodity) captures state and local purchasing of fruit juices and beverage components supplied to institutional food service operations, though the recent solicitation record shows little activity specifically indexed to boysenberry juice alone. State and local buyers—primarily school districts and correctional facilities, supported by health and human services departments and county purchasing offices—solicit juice and juice-inclusive beverage contracts as part of broad food service and nutrition program procurements. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education, the City of Edinburg (Texas), the Pinellas County School District (Florida), and the Illinois Department of Corrections all list juice among their most recent foodservice commodity bids, typically as one component within multi-category RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs spanning dairy, produce, proteins, and supplies. Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products) and compliance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act and state nutrition standards appear across most school nutrition solicitations. Evaluation criteria weight cost heavily—commonly 30 to 45 percent—alongside vendor qualifications, service delivery capability, and product quality.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, and Illinois. The Pinellas County School District solicited milk, dairy, and juice products (including non-dairy juice) on June 11, 2026, under a two-year contract valued at approximately $22.5 million; the City of Bridgeport issued a separate grocery items bid on June 30, 2026, encompassing beverages as one of over 1,100 line items; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested dairy products and juices statewide on June 22, 2026, with a historical annual value of $1.6 million; and the City of Edinburg's Child and Adult Care Food Program procurement (due August 4, 2026) specified 100 percent fruit juice as a required beverage category for approximately 400 children ages 1–18. The Illinois Department of Corrections issued a specialized IFB for certified Passover religious diet items including grape juice (February 10, 2026), a niche procurement. Juice rarely appears as a standalone commodity line in state and local solicitations; instead it is bundled within broader food service contracts where multiple vendors may supply different categories, allowing secondary vendors to serve when primary suppliers cannot fulfill orders.
