UNSPSC 50202703: Nectarine juice

UNSPSC 50202703 Nectarine juice is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy juice products under this code primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service contracts. Recent solicitations show nectarine juice and other fruit juices appearing as line items within broader beverage procurements for child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health institutions. The code captures individual juice products that are typically bid as part of comprehensive food and beverage supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements. Issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high school), state agencies managing institutional food service (health and human services commissions, departments of corrections and mental health), counties, cities, and special-purpose nutrition authorities. School districts represent the largest buyer segment, procuring juices to comply with USDA Child Nutrition Program regulations and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. State agencies managing state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and correctional facilities also use this code for regular beverage supply. A few municipalities manage food procurement on behalf of school boards or child care facilities.

Recent activity centers on Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal support (due August 4, 2026) specifying 100% fruit juice as a required beverage category with daily delivery to 400 children; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017418 for statewide dairy products and juices to state hospitals and state-supported living centers (due July 15, 2026) covering refrigerated and shelf-stable juices including orange, pineapple, apple, grape, mixed fruit, and tomato juice with an estimated $1.6 million annual value; the Pinellas County School District RFP 26JG021 for Milk, Dairy & Juice Products serving 117 district facilities (due June 11, 2026) with a contract value of approximately $22.5 million over two years; and the Illinois Department of Mental Health's John J. Madden Mental Health Center small-purchase solicitation for weekly juice delivery (due June 5, 2026). Nectarine juice specifically has not appeared as a named line item in recent posted opportunities; the code surfaces primarily when broader juice categories are specified without individual fruit type differentiation, suggesting limited standalone demand for this specific juice variety compared to orange, apple, and mixed-fruit options that dominate school nutrition and institutional beverage contracts.
