UNSPSC 50202511: Raspberry juice

UNSPSC 50202511 Raspberry juice is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fruit juices and juice-based beverage products for institutional food service operations, including child nutrition programs, school districts, correctional facilities, and state health agencies. Recent opportunities show that this code encompasses not just single-ingredient raspberry juice but the broader category of 100% fruit juices and juice drinks (orange, pineapple, apple, grape, mixed fruit, and tomato juice varieties) supplied to school cafeterias, child care facilities, and state hospitals. State and local governments procure these items as components of larger food service contracts rather than as standalone line items; juice appears consistently across child nutrition RFPs and IFBs alongside milk, dairy, beverages, and fresh produce. Issuing bodies include city school districts, county school systems, state health and human services commissions, and municipal departments of education spanning Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Repeat institutional buyers include school nutrition programs and state correctional and hospital facilities.

Recent activity spans a broad geographic base with notable concentration in the South and Southeast. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) procures 100% fruit juice as part of a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply contract for 400 children daily across five supply categories. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017418, due July 15, 2026) solicits refrigerated and shelf-stable juices including orange, pineapple, apple, grape, mixed fruit, and tomato juice varieties for 20 statewide state-supported living centers and hospitals with a historical annual value of $1.6 million. The Pinellas County School District in Florida (electronic bid 26JG021, due June 11, 2026) is procuring non-dairy juice products as Group C of a two-year milk, dairy, and juice contract estimated at $22.5 million across 117 district facilities. School districts and nutrition programs in Georgia (Burke County, Muscogee County, Hancock County), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education, Meriden Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Illinois (John J. Madden Mental Health Center) include juice categories in their nutrition procurement cycles. All solicitations emphasize compliance with Child Nutrition meal pattern standards, Buy American provisions, nutritional labeling, and weekly or daily delivery schedules to multiple school and facility locations.
