UNSPSC 14121808: Freezer paper

UNSPSC 14121808 Freezer paper, a Commodity code, covers the narrow slice of food-service disposables that state and local governments procure as part of broad child nutrition and school food-service supply chains. Recent solicitations show that freezer paper appears alongside a much wider set of paper goods—bags, containers, trays, wraps, utensils, napkins, and cleaning supplies—in contracts that bundle all five categories together under a single vendor or split awards by line item. State and local buyers do not purchase freezer paper in isolation; rather, they source it as one item within comprehensive paper-and-supplies bids that support breakfast, lunch, and snack programs serving hundreds to thousands of students daily. School districts and city child-care programs dominate the issuing bodies, with representative recent activity including the City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, CACFP Meal Program, due August 4, 2026), the City of New Haven Board of Education (RFP 2026HYRFPCNH350, posted June 18, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Sparta, Georgia (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida (RFP 25533RFPDST, due February 27, 2026, for approximately 219 school sites), and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (RFP for 19 school locations, due April 28, 2026). The procurement activity clusters heavily in Georgia (Hancock County, Colquitt County, Lamar County, Douglas County), with secondary concentration in Texas (Edinburg, San Antonio's Northside ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Connecticut (New Haven).

Most recent opportunities are posted IFBs or RFPs with response deadlines between February and August 2026, typically requiring firm pricing for 12-month contract periods running July 1 through June 30. Contracts range in scope from approximately 110 to 200 line items and estimated annual values from $193,000 to $750,000, with most requiring weekly or daily deliveries to multiple school sites and compliance with Buy American sourcing, USDA food-safety standards, and commercial general-liability insurance. School Food Authorities frequently reserve the right to award to multiple vendors on a line-item basis, and several solicitations include optional renewal terms spanning up to five additional years. The code shows active, ongoing procurement volume across a geographically dispersed base of school nutrition programs, each bidding annually as contract periods turn over in summer 2026 and 2027.
