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 sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit shelf-stable and fresh food products for school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, mental health facilities, and county senior services — but none of the posted solicitations specifically request kumquat concentrate or citrus juice concentrate products. Gwinnett County's October 2026 food purchase (IWQ 140229) sought peanut butter, canned proteins, pasta, and shelf-stable vegetables delivered to senior services; the Georgia Department of Education's RFP for Smart Snack approved beverages (PE55463NONST2027000000028, due November 2) targets carbonated drinks, water, juices, and sports drinks across school districts statewide; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's bids for dairy and juices (HHS0017418, HHS0017871) specify milk, Coca Cola products, and branded juice lines to state facilities. Texas Comptroller's statewide dairy and juice IFB (304T27380M12) covers milk, yogurt, and named juice varieties to juvenile justice and school facilities. The remaining opportunities address fresh produce, generic grocery items, or food service supplies for schools and institutional facilities.

The issuing bodies include state health and education departments, county school districts, county senior services, cities and municipalities purchasing for school nutrition programs, and state mental health facilities across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, and Illinois. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Illinois. The code shows no current market demand for kumquat concentrate specifically, and the mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the actual goods being solicited signals that this code is either misused for general food procurement tagging or sees minimal direct activity for concentrate products in state and local markets. Business development professionals should verify whether kumquat or citrus concentrates are actually purchased under higher-level food commodity codes or whether end-user demand exists before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
