UNSPSC 23181806: Beverage sterilizer

Equipment that sterilizes beverage product with high pressure steam during the manufacturing process for various beverages.

UNSPSC 23181806 Beverage sterilizer, Commodity tier, does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. Recent solicitations—including food safety and sanitation systems, janitorial supplies, custodial equipment, and paper products for school districts and county facilities—represent cleaning chemicals, detergents, sanitizers, and related supplies rather than beverage sterilization equipment. The mismatch suggests the code assignment reflects a cataloging error rather than actual procurement demand in this commodity family.

The activity that does appear under this code tag spans school district nutrition departments, county facilities maintenance, and municipal purchasing cooperatives across Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with issuing bodies including Lamar County School District (RFQ for food safety and sanitation systems due July 21, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITB for janitorial supplies due July 24, 2026 with estimated value $765,679.84), Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (catalog discount RFP for custodial supplies with estimated value $12.6 million through June 18, 2028), and Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP for paper and chemical supplies due March 4, 2026, estimated $750,000 annually). These buyers are consistently procuring detergents, sanitizers, degreasers, and sanitation supplies on monthly and annual cycles, often bundling equipment delivery with training and maintenance services. Vendors in this space compete on discount depth, delivery performance (typically within 10 days), compliance with food safety standards and green certifications, and capability to serve multiple sites. The code shows no recent activity consistent with beverage sterilization as a distinct product line.
