UNSPSC 50202512: Strawberry juice

UNSPSC 50202512 Strawberry juice is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as a line item within broader beverage and food service contracts, particularly for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, and other institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that strawberry juice appears alongside other 100% fruit juices and beverage products in comprehensive grocery and meal-service procurements rather than as a standalone line item; the code sees active use in child nutrition, adult care food programs, and institutional feeding operations where juice is specified as part of compliant meal patterns and nutritional offerings.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code include school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia), county and municipal correctional facilities (Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania, Illinois Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and state-supported living centers), city child care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and regional mental health centers (Illinois Department of Mental Health). Geographic activity spans Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, with the highest concentration in the Southeast and the Southwest. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas's CACFP Meal Program (RFP 2026-017, responses due August 4, 2026), which specifies beverages including milk and 100% fruit juice as a supply category serving 400 children daily; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide dairy products and juices procurement (IFB HHS0017418, responses due July 15, 2026) covering refrigerated and shelf-stable juices across 20 state facilities; and the Pinellas County School District's Milk, Dairy & Juice Products contract (IFB 26JG021, responses due June 11, 2026) for approximately 117 schools across a two-year term valued at approximately $22.5 million. These procurements typically mandate Buy American compliance, USDA nutrition standards, HACCP documentation, and daily or weekly deliveries with firm pricing for the contract term.
