UNSPSC 23181807: Dairy mixer

Mixing equipment used for preparing milk and milk products

UNSPSC 23181807 Dairy mixer, a Commodity code, covers commercial milk-mixing and dairy processing equipment that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations—primarily school districts, state health and human services facilities, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring Robot Coupe food processing equipment (blenders, mixers, and food processors), commercial blenders, and ancillary food preparation and storage equipment as part of broader kitchen equipment procurements for cafeterias, state-supported living centers, and nutrition services. The issuing bodies span school districts of varying size (Northside ISD, Somerset ISD, Temple ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fulton County Schools, and Atlanta Public Schools), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Human Services, Rhode Island Division of Purchases), and specialized state facilities including correctional institutions and state-supported living centers. Dairy-specific procurement activity appears concentrated in milk and ice cream supply agreements rather than dairy-processing equipment per se; the Rhode Island Division of Purchases has posted two Master Price Agreements for milk, dairy products, and ice cream supply within the past two months, establishing statewide frameworks for milk (homogenized, skim, low-fat, whole, and buttermilk in half-pint to 5-gallon formats), cottage cheese, yogurt, sour cream, ice cream, and frozen dessert delivery to Eleanor Slater Hospital, correctional facilities, state training schools, and veterans' homes.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas and the broader Southeast, with active solicitations from Texas school districts and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (Denton State Supported Living Center, San Angelo State Supported Living Center), Georgia school systems (Atlanta Public Schools), and multi-state procurement frameworks managed by Rhode Island and Missouri state agencies. The most representative and active opportunity is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Kitchen Equipment & Supplies solicitation (IFB HHS0017689) for Denton State Supported Living Center, due July 29, 2026, which includes Robot Coupe equipment and ancillary kitchen items under HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) program requirements for a one-year term beginning September 1, 2026, with renewal options. School district kitchen equipment procurements—including Somerset ISD's RFP for large kitchen equipment (due June 17, 2026) and Northside ISD's comprehensive equipment, parts, supplies, and services bid (IFB 2026-078, due May 28, 2026)—frequently bundle dairy and food-mixing equipment into broader kitchen modernization or replacement initiatives. The Rhode Island Division of Purchases' Master Price Agreement solicitations (QLVM26006770, due July 2, 2026 with reverse auction July 9, 2026) establish three-year statewide supply frameworks with two optional 12-month renewals for milk and dairy products, requiring Food Processor Licenses and Food Safety Manager certifications from vendors, with pricing indexed to the Boston Regional Marketing Area Class I Price monthly adjustments and MBE/WBE participation targets. Dairy-mixer opportunities specifically are sparse; the code appears underutilized relative to broader kitchen equipment and dairy supply activity, suggesting the commodity may be bundled under larger equipment or food service procurement codes in practice.
