UNSPSC 23181514: Cheese making machine

A machine that automatically produces cheese with milk.

UNSPSC 23181514 Cheese making machine is a Commodity code that in practice covers specialized equipment and production infrastructure for beverage and food manufacturing facilities, not cheese production alone. State and local governments use this code to tag solicitations for the lease, operation, or sale of production facilities equipped with industrial processing vessels, packaging systems, and distribution infrastructure. The City of Albany, Georgia Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is the issuing body represented in recent activity, seeking operators for a craft beverage production and event space through a flexible operational model that allows respondents to propose production-focused, hospitality-focused, or integrated full-facility management pathways. Qualifying operators must demonstrate one year of continuous business operation, active management experience in commercial beverage or hospitality sectors, and maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence.

The single recent opportunity on file is RFP #27-018 from the City of Albany DDA, posted September 1, 2026, with a response deadline of October 1, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EDT and a mandatory pre-proposal conference on September 9, 2026. The solicitation structure—offering lease with base monthly rent and renewal options or property acquisition with earnest money deposit and financing proof—reflects flexibility in transaction form, with evaluation on a 100-point best-value basis weighted equally across team qualifications, concept quality, operational planning, and financial offer. Written questions close September 18, 2026, and final addenda will issue by September 22, 2026. The code shows minimal recent state and local activity; this single Georgia opportunity provides the only concrete signal of current procurement demand under this classification.
