UNSPSC 50202428: Temple concentrate

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

UNSPSC 50202428 Temple concentrate, a Commodity code, does not map to the products and services state and local governments are actually soliciting under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged with 50202428 show a pattern of mislabeling: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' purchase of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services is a mainstream grocery procurement, not temple concentrate. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

Across the recent opportunities in the dataset, food and beverage procurement dominates state and local purchasing, but the items being bought—dairy products, juices, fresh produce, proteins, breakfast cereals, and standard pantry goods for school nutrition programs, state hospitals, and social service agencies—fall under other UNSPSC families and commodities. School districts including Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and Pinellas County School District (Florida) are issuing RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive grocery, dairy, and produce contracts. State health and human services agencies in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, along with counties and cities, are also active buyers of milk, juice, snack foods, and prepared items. The absence of temple concentrate or temple-specific products in any of the recent solicitations indicates this code is either not in active use by state and local buyers or is being incorrectly applied to unrelated food commodities.
