UNSPSC 50201711: Instant tea

UNSPSC 50201711 Instant tea (Commodity) encompasses powdered or concentrated tea products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, typically bundled with broader supplies purchasing. The code sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement; the single identifiable recent opportunity under this code involves the State of Georgia soliciting food, supplies, and other kitchen products through IFB PE55645NONST2026000000009, posted May 15, 2026, with a response deadline of June 22, 2026. The Georgia solicitation groups instant tea alongside a broader range of food and kitchen supplies, suggesting that purchasing bodies treat instant tea as a line item within larger institutional food-service contracts rather than as a standalone procurement category.

The geographic distribution is too narrow to characterize reliably from recent activity; Georgia represents the only state with a tagged opportunity under this code in the available record. The State of Georgia appears to be the primary recent issuer, and the bundled nature of the solicitation — combining food, supplies, and kitchen products — indicates that instant tea demand comes primarily through state-level institutional food-service vehicles rather than through municipal, county, or school-district channels. The sparse activity under this Commodity code suggests limited standalone procurement volume; firms pursuing this category should monitor Georgia's cooperative purchasing vehicles and institutional food-service frameworks for bundled opportunities that may include instant tea as a minor line item.
