UNSPSC 50202313: Infused beverage, herbal or plant-based

Non-alcoholic beverages such as herbal, plant-based infusions.

UNSPSC 50202313 Infused beverage, herbal or plant-based is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure food products for institutional food service, including beverages to support school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and other public-sector kitchen operations. The recent opportunities block shows school districts and state agencies purchasing across broad grocery categories that include beverages as line items within larger food service contracts, rather than standalone infused or herbal beverage solicitations. Issuing bodies include K–12 school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and corrections systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The scope of work across these opportunities spans food service delivery for student nutrition programs and institutional feeding operations, with beverage procurement embedded within comprehensive grocery supply contracts that specify product specifications, delivery schedules, nutritional compliance, and price firmness.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with recent solicitations posted from Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia between January and June 2026.
