UNSPSC 50201706: Coffee

UNSPSC 50201706 Coffee is a Commodity code that captures coffee products purchased by state and local governments as part of broader food and consumable-goods procurement. State and local buying under this code occurs almost entirely within larger food-service contracts that bundle coffee with dozens or hundreds of other grocery items, beverages, condiments, and supplies—rarely as a standalone coffee solicitation. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, departments of criminal justice, state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple using agencies, and school districts. All recent activity shows coffee integrated into food-service supply agreements for institutional cafeterias, inmate feeding programs, and student meal operations rather than as a discrete line item.

Recent opportunities show Texas and Georgia driving visible activity. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured food and consumable products (including canteen and coffee house operations) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with historical volume of $1.5 million annually. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations with responses due May 4, 2026; the scope included beverages but did not isolate coffee as a line item. Georgia issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with responses due June 22, 2026, and the Conejo Valley Unified School District in California solicited broadline products distribution (RFP 2026-04, due May 14, 2026) covering approximately 399 line items including beverages. Coffee appears in these solicitations as a category within large multi-vendor food contracts, not as a standalone procurement. The market shows steady institutional demand but minimal isolated coffee procurement activity at the state and local level.
