UNSPSC 23181504: Sifting machinery

UNSPSC 23181504 Sifting machinery is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under it does not reflect sifting equipment — instead, issuing bodies are using this code to tag broad food service equipment solicitations, including commercial kitchen machinery for school nutrition programs. Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida posted an ITB in September 2026 for large food service equipment delivery and installation across multiple school nutrition facilities, with firm fixed-price bids and USDA compliance requirements under the National School Lunch Act. The scope includes equipment procurement, delivery, installation, and warranty support to individual school sites, with Buy American provisions, prevailing wage standards for contracts exceeding $100,000, and mandatory federal certifications (debarment, drug-free workplace, lobbying disclosure). Contractor employees assigned to school sites must clear Florida's Jessica Lunsford Act background checks. Payment terms follow Florida's Prompt Payment Act at Net 45 days from delivery or invoice receipt, and HCPS reserves termination rights with 30 days' notice.

The code shows activity concentrated in Florida, with HCPS as the primary recent issuing body. The HCPS opportunity closed in June 2026 following an original May 26 deadline; HCPS released four addenda between May 4 and May 21, 2026 modifying specifications and bid procedures, and issued a Notice of Intent to Award on June 30, 2026. Bidders submitted standardized bid response sheets (Revision 2, released May 21) for each equipment line item and delivery location. The source supports no additional recent opportunities under the code in other jurisdictions or states; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope (sifting machinery) and actual procurement activity (broad food service equipment) suggests either classification drift in the issuing system or that this code functions as a catch-all for school nutrition equipment sourcing in this buyer's taxonomy.
