UNSPSC 50202507: Boysenberry juice

UNSPSC 50202507 Boysenberry juice is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity shown does not include boysenberry juice specifically. Instead, the code appears to be capturing a broader category of juice products being solicited by state agencies, school districts, and local health authorities across the country. The actual work being bought under this classification spans fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable juice delivery to institutional foodservice operations—primarily schools, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and county departments. Issuing bodies include school districts (Pinellas County, Burke County, Hancock County, Bridgeport Board of Education), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia Department of Education, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county governments (Gwinnett County), and municipalities (City of Edinburg, City of Bridgeport). Juice products in these solicitations include orange, apple, pineapple, grape, cranberry, mixed-fruit, and specialty varieties such as Minute Maid products, typically procured as part of broader beverage or food supply contracts rather than standalone line items. Vendors compete on pricing per unit or per case, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, delivery capability to multiple sites on regular schedules, and alignment with nutrition standards including CACFP and Smart Snacks guidelines.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple statewide dairy and juice solicitations (IFB HHS0017418 with a historical value of $1.6 million annually), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of food items including beverages (due October 19, 2026), and the Georgia Department of Education issued an RFP for Smart Snack-approved beverages including juices to schools statewide (due November 2, 2026). Pinellas County School District solicited milk, dairy, and juice products for 117 district facilities valued at approximately $22.5 million over two years (bids due June 11, 2026), Burke County and Hancock County school boards in Georgia each requested sealed food bids with juice components (due June 5 and June 26, 2026 respectively), and the City of Bridgeport and Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut issued parallel commodity and grocery bids with beverage line items (June 26 and June 30, 2026). Illinois Department of Mental Health sought weekly juice delivery on a small purchase basis (due June 5, 2026). Delivery frequency typically requires multiple weekly drops to school cafeterias or facility coolers with strict temperature maintenance, minimum shelf-life requirements, and FOB-Destination pricing including all freight and handling costs.
