UNSPSC 50202700: Fresh drupe or stone fruit juice or concentrate

Drupe fruit juices are made by extracting the liquid part of the fruit. Juices may contain a mixture of vegetables or fruits and will commonly retain the taste of the primary ingredient. Concentrate is a condensed liquid form of the product which has had the majority of its base component, primarily water, removed. Generally, concentrate solids do not contain pulp, seeds or rind.

UNSPSC 50202700 Fresh drupe or stone fruit juice or concentrate is a Class code that encompasses fruit juices—particularly orange, apple, grape, and mixed-fruit varieties in both ready-to-drink and concentrated forms—supplied to state and local institutional food-service operations including school districts, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child-nutrition programs. State and local buyers procure this commodity as a component of broader meal-service contracts rather than as a standalone line item, bundling juice with milk, dairy products, and other beverages to meet federal nutrition standards and program requirements. School nutrition programs and state health and human services agencies dominate recent activity, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Pinellas County Schools, San Antonio Independent School District, Meriden Public Schools, and multiple Georgia school districts soliciting juice as part of multi-category food-supply procurements.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Florida. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017418 (due July 15, 2026) for dairy products and juices statewide to state hospitals and state-supported living centers, with historical annual value of $1.6 million and total potential value of $3.2 million over two years; the scope covers refrigerated and shelf-stable juices including orange, pineapple, apple, grape, mixed fruit, and tomato varieties with delivery to 20 locations. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026017 (due August 4, 2026) for CACFP meal-program supplies including beverages and 100% fruit juice for approximately 400 children ages 1–18 daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for vendors within 5% of lowest bid. Pinellas County Schools solicited Milk, Dairy & Juice Products (due June 11, 2026) for approximately 117 district facilities over a two-year contract with estimated value of $22.5 million, with separate pricing groups for milk and non-dairy juices. Hancock County Board of Education requested fresh produce bids (due June 26, 2026) encompassing over 200 line items including berries and citrus fruits with one-year supply to three school locations. San Antonio Independent School District sought milk, dairy, and juice products (due March 19, 2026) with twenty-one line items including orange, apple, and apple-cherry juices and monthly pricing adjustments tied to federal milk-order pricing. All jurisdictions require compliance with USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic ingredients for processed products), HACCP food-safety plans, federal nutrition standards, and electronic ordering through proprietary school-nutrition platforms; multi-vendor awards and weekly or daily delivery schedules are standard.
