UNSPSC 23181804: Ice cream machines

UNSPSC 23181804 Ice cream machines is a Commodity code representing specialized equipment for food service and hospitality applications in state and local procurement. Recent solicitations under this code reflect limited direct activity; the one posted opportunity—Klein Independent School District's RFP #26-101 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources—does not target ice cream machines specifically but rather covers a broad suite of instructional supplies, materials, equipment, and services across multiple CTE and academic disciplines, with ice cream machines potentially relevant only if Klein ISD's hospitality program includes food-service equipment procurement. The code appears to see minimal state and local purchasing volume relative to its abstract scope, suggesting that jurisdictions typically procure food-service equipment through more general commodity codes or integrated facility-management contracts rather than targeting ice cream machines as a distinct line item.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas based on the single identified opportunity. Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas posted the RFP on April 17, 2026, with a response deadline of June 5, 2026; the district is structuring awards by category across multiple vendors on a best-value basis, with an initial one-year term plus four optional one-year renewals beginning September 1, 2026. The solicitation accepts proposals for one or more instructional categories and encourages historically underutilized business, minority-owned, women-owned, and small-business participation. No overall budget or award value is specified. Beyond this single posting, the code shows no other recent state and local contract activity in the source material, indicating either minimal demand for ice cream machines as a standalone procurement category or systematic reclassification under broader food-service or hospitality equipment codes.
