UNSPSC 50202208: Takju

A type of alcohol unique in Korea that is distilled by steaming sweet rice, non-glutinous rice, barley, wheat flour and others with the fermentation in mixture with water and yeast.

UNSPSC 50202208 Takju, a Commodity code, covers takju—a traditional Korean rice wine—and related alcoholic beverages sourced by state and local public bodies for consumption, service, and resale at events, facilities, and institutional operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying takju and comparable beverages in two distinct contexts: as inventory for purchase and supply (where institutions like universities procure spirits and wines through competitive bidding) and as operational concession services (where municipalities and airport authorities outsource the full management, staffing, permitting, and revenue operations of beverage programs at festivals, public events, and commercial terminals. The issuing bodies include municipalities (city purchasing divisions), counties operating public facilities, and state university systems.

Recent opportunities span Texas, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. The City of Richardson posted an RFP on October 15, 2026 (due November 17, 2026) for operation and management of alcoholic beverage concession services at four municipal festivals and special events—Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival, Cottonwood Art Festival, July 4th Family Festival, and Huffhines Harvest Fest—under a revenue-sharing agreement requiring a minimum five years' experience, $4 million liquor liability insurance, and current Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission certification. Beaufort County, South Carolina issued RFP 072325 on September 30, 2026 (originally due August 6, 2025, with site visit July 9, 2025 and revised proposal deadline July 23, 2025) for retail and food and beverage concessions at Hilton Head Island Airport within a $30.9 million terminal renovation project, emphasizing Lowcountry regional character and local vendor integration. The University of Wisconsin-Madison posted a competitive bid solicitation (2026-UWMSN-01380-RFB) on August 6, 2026 (due September 3, 2026) for direct purchase of alcoholic beverages through the ShopUW+ procurement portal.
