UNSPSC 50202706: Prune juice

UNSPSC 50202706 Prune juice is a Commodity code capturing beverage procurement across school nutrition, institutional food service, and correctional systems. State and local governments source prune juice primarily as a component of broader meal programs—either as a standalone beverage item within child nutrition or adult care food programs, or bundled within larger grocery and juice procurement contracts. Recent solicitations show prune juice appearing alongside milk, apple juice, and other 100% fruit juices in school district child nutrition bids, state hospital dietary programs, and correctional facility food service contracts. The work spans school districts (primary buyers), state health and human services departments operating hospitals and supported living centers, city and county correctional facilities, and special food programs serving children and vulnerable populations. Issuing bodies include school districts of varying sizes, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, city purchasing departments, and correctional departments. School districts represent the dominant buyer category, with repeated activity from districts in Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, and Florida.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with notable recent activity also in California, Missouri, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items including beverages for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department (RFQ, due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting dairy products and juices statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers with a historical value of $1.6 million annually (IFB HHS0017418, due July 15, 2026); the Pinellas County School District requesting milk, dairy, and juice products for approximately 117 district facilities valued at approximately $22.5 million over the initial two-year period (ITB 26JG021, due June 11, 2026); and the California Department of State Hospitals—Atascadero facility requesting 400 cases of bulk prune juice in 46-ounce containers (RFQ #25IR063, due May 28, 2026). All recent opportunities require compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, USDA nutrition standards for school programs, firm fixed pricing, and delivery to multiple designated sites on established schedules.
