UNSPSC 50202202: Cider or perry

UNSPSC 50202202 Cider or perry, a Commodity code, covers alcoholic beverages sourced by state and local governments for resale, service, or institutional use at public events, airports, and educational facilities. The work being solicited under this code spans beverage concession management at municipal festivals and special events, airport food and beverage operations integrated into terminal renovation projects, and bulk purchasing of alcoholic beverages for institutional consumption. Issuing bodies include city governments (event management), county-operated airports, and public universities; these entities typically contract either with concessionaire operators who manage the full service and sales chain under revenue-sharing agreements, or place bids for direct product purchase and supply.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and South Carolina, with secondary activity in Wisconsin. The City of Richardson, Texas posted RFP 701-27 on October 15, 2026, seeking an alcoholic beverage concessionaire to operate service at four annual festivals—Wildflower!

Beaufort County, South Carolina solicited food and beverage concessionaires for Hilton Head Island Airport (RFP 072325) as part of a $30.9 million terminal renovation, with emphasis on Lowcountry regional offerings and small-business participation; the University of Wisconsin-Madison issued ITB 2026-UWMSN-01380-RFB on August 6, 2026, for direct purchase of alcoholic beverages, with bids due September 3, 2026.
