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 is a Commodity code that does not align with the work actually being solicited in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope—temple concentrate as a beverage ingredient—is not reflected in the recent contract activity, which spans comprehensive food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and health and nutrition programs. The opportunities tagged under this code are purchasing full meals, groceries, milk and dairy products, fresh produce, juices, and general food supplies rather than concentrate ingredients or beverage components. This mismatch suggests the code has little relevant recent activity or that the tagging reflects an administrative classification error rather than actual commodity procurement.

The recent opportunities do reveal broad-based food service spending across multiple issuing bodies—school districts (Pinellas County Florida, Rockwood R-VI Missouri, Burke County Georgia, Meriden Connecticut, Hancock County Georgia, Douglas County Georgia, and Bridgeport Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), municipalities (City of Bridgeport Connecticut, City of Edinburg Texas), and correctional facilities (Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Illinois Department of Corrections). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Florida, with opportunities ranging from a small purchase for weekly juice delivery to the Illinois Department of Mental Health to a $9 million annual food supply and distribution contract with Douglas County Schools. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg Texas RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies due August 4, 2026; Pinellas County Schools IFB 26JG021 for milk, dairy, and juice products valued at approximately $22.5 million over two years, closing June 11, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017418 for dairy products and juices statewide, due July 15, 2026. Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence are standard across solicitations. If pursuing this code, align prospecting to actual food service categories—milk, produce, proteins, prepared foods, beverages, and supplies—rather than concentrate products.
