UNSPSC 14121806: Waxed paper

UNSPSC 14121806 Waxed paper, a Commodity code, describes disposable food-service paper products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional foodservice operations. The code captures waxed and coated paper products used in food handling, wrapping, and serving — including paper bags, sandwich bags, poly wrap, and similar consumables that appear routinely in school district and state cafeteria supply contracts. State and local issuing bodies under this code include school districts, state departments managing food-service procurement, and county governments operating institutional dining facilities. School boards represent the dominant buyer category, soliciting waxed paper and related disposables as line items within larger school-nutrition supply contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and New Jersey. The School Board of Polk County, Florida posted ITB 002RW0727 in September 2026 for school nutrition consumable supplies including wrapping materials and bags across 47 line items, with an anticipated total bid value of $1.465 million and a contract period running August 26, 2026 through July 31, 2027 — a deadline that has already passed. The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property issued Bid Solicitation 26DPP01297 in July 2026 for disposable food-service items including paper products and poly wrap across 26 price lines and individual items, with quotes due August 25, 2026, consolidating the previous T0012 and T0012S contracts and adding 15 new items for the first time. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners also solicited janitorial and operational supplies under ITB-26-00319 in July 2026, though that procurement spans a broader scope beyond waxed paper alone. School districts and state procurement offices typically award these contracts on a competitive-bid basis with firm fixed pricing, F.O.B. delivery to district or state warehouse locations, and contract periods of one year with no guaranteed minimums.
