UNSPSC 50202511: Raspberry juice

UNSPSC 50202511 Raspberry juice is a Commodity code capturing the purchase of fruit juice beverages by state and local government agencies, though the recent solicitation record shows almost no direct procurement of raspberry juice specifically and instead reveals broader beverage and juice purchasing activity across school nutrition, state institutional, and county food-service programs. State and local buyers under this code span school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, City of Edinburg Schools in Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county government purchasing offices (Gwinnett County in Georgia), and state education departments (Georgia Department of Education). The actual procurement focuses on mixed beverage portfolios—milk and dairy products, 100-percent fruit juices in apple, orange, pineapple, and mixed-fruit varieties, carbonated soft drinks, sports drinks, and water products—often bundled with broader food-service contracts. Representative solicitations include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 informal written quote for shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, the Georgia Department of Education's RFP 9060_1005_211 for Smart Snack-compliant beverages due November 2, 2026, the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-27-380M1.2 for dairy and juice products with scheduled deliveries to Texas juvenile justice and school facilities due August 25, 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017418 for statewide dairy products and juices due July 15, 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Florida, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Comptroller appearing as repeat buyers across multiple institutional and correctional settings. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state institutional buyers (state-supported living centers, state hospitals, mental health facilities). Geographic spread spans Texas (highest recent volume, including statewide institutional procurement and juvenile justice facilities), Georgia (school districts and counties), Connecticut (school nutrition), and Florida (Pinellas County Schools). Most solicitations appear as IFB or RFP notices with response dates typically in the 4-to-8 week range from posting. Buy American provisions, CACFP and USDA nutrition compliance, fixed pricing with indexed adjustment options, and multi-location delivery requirements appear standard. The code shows active state and local procurement velocity, though juice as a standalone line item rarely appears isolated—vendors typically bid beverage portfolios within larger food-service or commodity contracts, and consolidated purchasing through state procurement channels or school district cooperatives dominates the market structure.
