UNSPSC 50201709: Instant coffee

UNSPSC 50201709 Instant coffee is a Commodity code covering the purchase of instant coffee products by state and local governments. Recent activity shows this code being applied to procurement for correctional facility commissary operations and institutional food-service supply contracts, though the code's narrow commodity scope—instant coffee specifically—sits within broader food-and-beverage purchasing activity at state and local jurisdictions. State and local buyers under this code include county detention facilities and state food-service operations. Marion County, Oregon has posted multiple special procurements in recent months for interim commissary operations managed through single-vendor arrangements rather than competitive bidding, indicating that instant coffee may appear as one item within larger institutional food-supply packages rather than as a standalone procurement focus.

Geographic activity in the recent opportunities block reflects Oregon and Georgia. Marion County, Oregon approved a special procurement with Keefe Commissary Network, LLC for interim commissary and trust accounting services to the jail (solicitation SC2510200017443, due July 16, 2026), with an earlier request for the same vendor posted June 30, 2026 (SC2510200017350, due July 7, 2026). The State of Georgia issued an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with scope and pricing contained in attachment 26_003. The code shows limited recent standalone activity; instant coffee appears to be absorbed into broader institutional food-supply contracts rather than procured as a discrete line item.
