UNSPSC 14121808: Freezer paper

UNSPSC 14121808 Freezer paper is a Commodity code covering disposable packaging and storage supplies used in state and local food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs. State and local governments procure freezer paper alongside related disposable food-service consumables — portion cups, food trays, containers, liners, bags, wraps, and napkins — as part of broader school meal program supply contracts. The buying population is dominated by school districts and school food authorities across county and city jurisdictions, with occasional participation from municipal food-service programs such as child-care and adult meal initiatives. Recent solicitations frame freezer paper as one line item within larger composite bids for annual consumable-supply replenishment, typically bundled with foam trays, plastic storage containers, food-preparation films, and disposable serviceware to support daily meal production at multiple school sites.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with notable solicitations from Polk County Schools (Florida), New Haven Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and Colquitt County Schools (Georgia) between May and September 2026. The Polk County School Board issued ITB 002RW0727 with a response deadline of July 21, 2026 for consumable supplies including freezer zipper bags across 47 line items with an anticipated total value of $1.465 million; the City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for child-care meal program supplies with a local-vendor preference and a proposal deadline of August 4, 2026; and Hancock County Schools issued IFB SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026 for chemical and paper products across three school locations. All recent school-district solicitations require Buy American compliance, specify brand preferences (WNA, Banyan, Kleenlex, Dart, Clorox commonly cited), and establish firm pricing for 12-month contract periods with escalation clauses tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Response deadlines for most recent opportunities have passed as of October 2026.
