UNSPSC 50202706: Prune juice

UNSPSC 50202706 Prune juice is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure prune juice and related shelf-stable juice beverages for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations reveal active demand for 100% prune juice without added sugar in bulk container formats (46-ounce containers), often paired with complementary juice products such as apple juice, cranberry juice, and mixed-fruit beverages. The code serves school districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and specialized state facilities; the California Department of State Hospitals at Atascadero and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) appear as repeat buyers in the recent opportunity set.

Activity spans California, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, and Connecticut. Recent representative opportunities include the California Department of State Hospitals – Atascadero issuing Request for Quotation #25IR063 for 400 cases of bulk prune juice and 500 cases of high fiber apple juice in 46-ounce containers, with quotations due May 28, 2026 under a competitive advertised solicitation method offering small business preference incentives of 3% to 5%; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumables including juice products under IFB HHS0016792V2 (responses due March 19, 2026) for delivery statewide to state hospitals and state-supported living centers with a maximum potential three-year contract value of $4.5 million; and the Pinellas County School District (Florida) soliciting milk, dairy, and juice products under a two-year contract commencing August 1, 2026, valued at approximately $22.5 million for the initial two-year period including renewal options, with Group C addressing non-dairy juice products under firm fixed pricing. Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content) apply across school-district procurements, and most solicitations specify shelf-stable, no-refrigeration products with extended shelf-life requirements (typically six months post-delivery minimum). Delivery windows cluster around institutional schedules—7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday to receiving docks and central distribution points—with monthly or quarterly order cycles tied to institutional food-service planning.
