UNSPSC 50203201: Raw camel milk

Raw milk from a camel

UNSPSC 50203201 Raw camel milk is a Commodity code that in practice covers fluid milk and dairy products procured by state and local institutional food service operations—school districts, state agencies, county correctional facilities, and specialized care facilities. The source shows no active market for camel milk itself; instead, recent solicitations classify standard pasteurized cow milk in multiple fat levels (whole, 2%, 1%, skim, fat-free, lactose-free, flavored), along with supplementary dairy items such as buttermilk, cottage cheese, sour cream, yogurt, and cream, under this code. School districts represent the dominant buyer category, followed by state health and human services agencies operating hospitals and state-supported living centers, county facilities including correctional institutions, and Head Start programs. Issuing bodies span Georgia (Tattnall County, Muscogee County, Coweta County, Glynn County, Hall County, Henry County schools; state HHS procurement), Florida (Seminole County and Pinellas County schools), Texas (Head Start of Greater Dallas, state HHS), Colorado (Department of Corrections), Nevada (Youth Training Center), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), California (San Bernardino County), and Illinois. Contracts typically run annual school-year or fiscal cycles (July through June or September through August), with milk delivery two or three times weekly to multiple dispersed sites and pricing tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports, Consumer Price Index, or raw milk futures for price adjustments beyond initial firm periods.

Recent representative solicitations include Tattnall County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB on July 13, 2026, with bids due July 22, 2026, for milk and dairy products serving the School Nutrition Program during school year 2026–2027; Head Start of Greater Dallas issuing IFB 26-MK on June 24, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on April 16, 2026, for approximately 1,926 gallons whole milk and 16,177 gallons skim milk annually across multiple Dallas County sites, weighted evaluation favoring unit price and quality with slight scoring edge to small, minority, and woman-owned businesses; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017418 on June 22, 2026, with bids due July 15, 2026, for statewide dairy products and juices at $1.6 million annually to 20 state-supported living centers and state hospitals; and Pinellas County School District (Florida) issuing an electronic bid on May 13, 2026, due June 11, 2026, for milk, dairy, and juice products across approximately 117 schools with an estimated contract value of $22.5 million over two years including all renewals. Buy American compliance (51% domestic agricultural content minimum), HACCP food safety documentation, General Liability Insurance ($1 million per occurrence minimum), and E-Verify authorization appear uniformly across solicitations; no federal set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions appear in the recent postings, though a few solicitations (notably Dallas Head Start and Colorado CDOC) apply modest scoring or pricing preferences to small, minority, woman-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses.
