UNSPSC 50202805: Pineapple concentrate

A condensed liquid form of the pineapples fruit which has had the majority of its base component, primarily water, removed.

UNSPSC 50202805 Pineapple concentrate is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of juice products, fruit concentrates, and related beverages for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show the code active across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and other public institutions seeking juices, dairy beverages, and concentrate-based drinks as components of broader food service contracts rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies span school districts, state health and human services agencies, city purchasing departments, and county correctional facilities. Work is solicited through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs; many jurisdictions bundle pineapple juice and other juices with milk, produce, and staple foods into comprehensive nutrition procurement rather than isolating juice as a separate purchase. When juice appears as a distinct line item, state and local buyers typically specify 100% fruit juice content, shelf-stable packaging, and compliance with Buy American and USDA nutrition standards applicable to child nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Florida, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and school districts in multiple states issuing statewide or multi-facility juice and beverage contracts. The Texas HHS Commission solicitation HHS0017418 (due July 15, 2026) sought dairy products and juices statewide across 20 facilities with an estimated $1.6 million annual value; California Department of State Hospitals Atascadero issued RFQ #25AG0022 (due May 15, 2026) for bulk pineapple juice among six juice products in 46-ounce containers totaling 2,250 cases over six months; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026) requested grocery items including juices meeting Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards; Pinellas County Schools 26JG021 (due June 11, 2026) solicited milk, dairy, and juice products for 117 district facilities over two years valued at approximately $22.5 million. Set-aside programs including MBE/CBE certifications and Buy American compliance are standard across these opportunities. Demand remains steady within school lunch and institutional feeding programs tied to annual budget cycles, though pineapple juice specifically appears less frequently as a standalone item than as one option within broader juice variety requirements.
