UNSPSC 51461538 Kava, a Commodity code, represents the procurement of kava root, powder, and related preparations by state and local governments. The code captures purchase of this plant-derived substance for use in institutional settings, though state and local procurement activity under this specific Commodity remains minimal. Kava appears in the portfolios of agencies managing botanical materials, dietary supplements, or specialized institutional supplies, but does not constitute a core procurement category for most jurisdictions.

The recent-opportunities block provided no registered solicitations under this code, indicating that kava procurement does not surface regularly as a distinct line item in state and local RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs. When kava is acquired by public bodies, it is typically bundled under broader family-level codes for herbal or botanical products rather than tagged to this narrower Commodity designation. No geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or representative recent opportunities can be identified from current activity.
