UNSPSC 50202418: Kumquat concentrate

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

UNSPSC 50202418 Kumquat concentrate is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of food products for institutional meal programs, though recent activity shows the code tags a broader range of beverage and food-service items than the nominal category suggests. School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities dominate the issuing-body mix; school nutrition programs account for the largest volume of activity, typically sourcing through RFPs and IFBs that bundle multiple product lines including milk, juices, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and condiments under single contracts. Representative recent solicitations include the Pinellas County School District's June 2026 bid for Milk, Dairy & Juice Products (valued at approximately $22.5 million over two years for 117 school sites), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's February 2026 supplemental food and consumables IFB for state hospitals and living centers statewide (maximum $4.5 million over three years), and the Douglas County School System's January 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools with an estimated $9 million annual spend. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and the City of Edinburg, Texas each issued separate grocery and meal-program bids in June 2026, while Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut released an RFP in March 2026 for commercial and USDA foods valued at approximately $3.1 million for the 2026-27 school year.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Illinois, with school districts and state agencies across these jurisdictions posting solicitations between January and July 2026. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear consistently across school lunch and state-facility bids. Delivery schedules typically call for Monday-through-Friday service with advance ordering through electronic systems such as OpenGov, LINQ School Solutions, NUTRIKIDS, or Bonfire portals; insurance requirements commonly mandate $1 million to $2 million general liability coverage with the buying entity named as additional insured. Firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods (often 30 days to one year) with subsequent adjustment tied to third-party market indices such as the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Consumer Price Index, or commodity-specific reporting (Urner Barry for eggs, Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Board for dairy) is standard. Payment terms run Net 30 to Net 45 days. HACCP plans, debarment certifications, and E-Verify compliance are common requirements for bids exceeding $25,000. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitation summaries, though Illinois corrections procurement references a Business Enterprise Program goal of 6 percent.
