UNSPSC 23181703: Cooking machinery

UNSPSC 23181703 Cooking machinery is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure commercial kitchen equipment, components, repair services, and supplies for institutional food-service operations. The code captures purchasing for gas valves, temperature controls, walk-in coolers and freezers, ranges, steamers, ovens, dishwashers, and associated parts and maintenance across school districts, county facilities, municipal operations, and other public entities. Issuing bodies under this code include large independent school districts with multi-campus foodservice operations, county and municipal departments managing institutional kitchens, and special districts operating cafeteria or dining facilities. School districts emerge as primary buyers, given the scale of their distributed kitchen networks and the frequency of replacement and repair cycles across dozens or hundreds of campus locations.

Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas posted IFB 2026-078 on May 5, 2026 with a response deadline of May 28, 2026 for kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services across 132 schools and 15 support sites in Bexar County. The solicitation required sealed electronic bids through the Bonfire Portal, with vendors expected to provide catalog pricing, maintain inventory availability across all district campuses, and include FOB Destination delivery with inside delivery and liftgate service. The contract term was one year with two optional one-year renewals, and NISD reserved the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis. The district is a member of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (CTPA), meaning winning vendors may see their contracts adopted by other CTPA member districts at the same terms. No minimum purchase volume was guaranteed, and the source provides no other recent opportunities under this code.
