UNSPSC 50203100: Fresh vegetable juice or concentrate

Juices or concentrate derived from vegetables

UNSPSC 50203100 Fresh vegetable juice or concentrate is a Class code under which state and local governments actually procure beverages including fruit juices, vegetable juices, milk, dairy products, and branded carbonated drinks for school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, county senior services, and mental health facilities. The nominal code scope suggests plant-based juices, but recent solicitations show demand spanning the full range of child nutrition and institutional foodservice beverages—100% fruit juice, shelf-stable and refrigerated juices in apple, orange, pineapple, grape, cranberry, and mixed-fruit varieties, plus dairy-based and carbonated alternatives. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, followed by state health and human services agencies operating state hospitals and state-supported living centers, county boards of education, city boards of education, and special-purpose institutions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Pinellas County School District, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia Department of Education, and multiple Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers. Scope typically requires compliance with federal Child Nutrition Act provisions, Smart Snacks in School Standards, Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), and FDA/USDA standards, with delivery to multiple school sites or institutional facilities on fixed schedules, often three to five days per week between morning and early afternoon windows.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide dairy and juice procurement (IFB HHS0017418, due July 15, 2026) serving 20 locations across state-supported living centers with annual usage of $1.6 million; Pinellas County School District's milk, dairy, and juice products bid (26JG021, due June 11, 2026) valued at approximately $22.5 million over two years to supply 117 district facilities; Georgia Department of Education's Smart Snack approved beverages RFP (9060_1005_211, due November 2, 2026) for carbonated drinks, water, juices, and sports drinks across multiple Georgia school locations; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal quote for food items including shelf-stable beverages (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for senior services. Contracts typically run 12 months with options to renew or extend, require F.O.B. Destination delivery with inside delivery, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on per-unit pricing.
