UNSPSC 23181519: Pasteurizing machine

Machine employing thermal process to reduce pathogen agents performed on food.

UNSPSC 23181519 Pasteurizing machine is a Commodity code that covers equipment for heat-treating milk and other liquid products to eliminate pathogens while preserving nutritional and sensory qualities. State and local governments procure pasteurizing machines primarily through state departments of agriculture, state university food science and dairy programs, county cooperative extension offices, and municipal public health laboratories. The equipment ranges from small batch pasteurizers for institutional use (school kitchens, hospitals, correctional facilities) to larger continuous-flow systems for regional dairy operations and food-safety testing environments. Purchasers typically issue RFQs or ITBs for equipment that must meet FDA and state dairy safety standards, often requiring third-party certification and performance validation before deployment.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code, so no geographic concentration, issuing-body frequency, or representative solicitation detail can be drawn. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs in the recent-opportunities block, current market activity under the code is not visible in available procurement records.
