UNSPSC 73131501: Spirits distilling or blending services

UNSPSC 73131501 Spirits distilling or blending services is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with spirits distilling or blending work. The City of Richardson's RFP for alcoholic beverage concessionaire services at municipal festivals solicits operational management of existing beverage inventory across four annual events—the Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival, Cottonwood Art Festival, July 4th Family Festival, and Huffhines Harvest Fest—with the concessionaire responsible for staffing, permitting, inventory management, point-of-sale operations, and regulatory compliance. The City of Lubbock's Athletic Complex Concession Services RFP and Mt. San Antonio College's Pouring Rights and Beverage Vending Machines RFP both solicit non-alcoholic beverage services. None of these opportunities involve spirits distilling, blending, or production. The Richardson opportunity is the only solicitation under this code involving alcoholic beverages at all, and it requires operational concession management rather than spirits production or blending services.

Recent activity under this code is concentrated in Texas municipalities, specifically the City of Richardson (RFP due November 17, 2026) and the City of Lubbock (RFP due November 3, 2026), with one California community college district (Mt. San Antonio College, RFP deadline April 8, 2026, now expired). The code shows no substantial pipeline of spirits production or blending work in state and local procurement. Firms specializing in spirits distilling or blending should verify whether procurement offices are applying this code correctly or whether opportunities in spirits production are tagged under different UNSPSC categories.
