UNSPSC 23152903: Packaging vacuum

UNSPSC 23152903 Packaging vacuum is a Commodity code covering vacuum-related packaging components and parts used in food processing, meat handling, and industrial packaging operations. State and local governments procure these items primarily for correctional facilities, agricultural extension operations, institutional food service, and meat inspection programs. The work involves supplying specialized packaging components—seals, gaskets, tubing, valves, and other vacuum system parts—that support food preservation, containment, and regulatory compliance in processing environments. Issuing bodies are typically state departments managing agricultural operations, food safety programs, or institutional services; counties and municipalities with centralized food procurement; and special-purpose districts operating food facilities.

Texas has posted recent activity under this code. The State of Texas issued IFB IW260220 on July 23, 2026, seeking meat processing and packaging parts with bids due August 7, 2026. The solicitation targets qualified vendors supplying components for meat processing and packaging operations and specifies that pricing will be evaluated on unit and total costs per the bid schedule. The contract includes potential renewal options at the state's discretion and may carry set-asides for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses under Texas procurement regulations. Funding flows from state budget allocations for meat processing operations.
