UNSPSC 50202705: Plum juice

UNSPSC 50202705 Plum juice is a Commodity code covering 100% fruit juices and juice-based beverages procured by state and local governments for institutional food service programs. State and local buyers under this code span school districts, correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and municipal child nutrition programs. The work solicited includes supply contracts for juice products integrated into broader food service bids—typically 100% fruit juices (orange, apple, grape, pineapple, mixed fruit) alongside milk and dairy products for child nutrition programs, adult care facilities, and prison food service. Recent opportunities show juice supplied as one component of multi-category food procurement, with pricing either firm-fixed or indexed to commodity markets, and delivery schedules ranging from daily to weekly depending on facility type and volume.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured refrigerated and shelf-stable juices statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers under IFB HHS0017418 (due July 15, 2026) with estimated annual value of $1.6 million, while the City of Edinburg, Texas solicited beverages including 100% fruit juice for a CACFP meal program serving 400 children daily under RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026). The Pinellas County School District in Florida procured non-dairy juice products in a two-year milk and dairy bid (due June 11, 2026) valued at approximately $22.5 million across renewal options. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Ben Hill County, Burke County, Douglas County, Muscogee County) issued food supply RFPs and IFBs that included juice as a line-item component between May and July 2026. The Illinois Department of Mental Health sought weekly juice delivery in a small-purchase contract (due June 5, 2026), and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania procured assorted drinks including juice for its correctional facility (due May 7, 2026). Buy American provisions and nutritional compliance with federal Child Nutrition Program standards apply across most K–12 and institutional solicitations.
