UNSPSC 30131707: Porcelain

Porcelain is a hard, fine-grained, sonorous, white non-porous type of ceramic usually translucent that consists essentially of kaolin, quartz, and a feldspathic rock and is fired at a high temperature.

UNSPSC 30131707 Porcelain is a Commodity code covering ceramic products and tableware that state and local governments procure for facility operations, dining services, and institutional use. The code encompasses dinnerware, serving pieces, and decorative porcelain items used in schools, correctional facilities, hospitals, administrative offices, and public event venues. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts, state departments of corrections, county health departments, municipal parks and recreation bureaus, and transit authorities operating cafeterias or public spaces. The work is straightforward procurement of finished goods rather than manufacturing or custom production, typically bundled with broader foodservice or facility-supplies contracts.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 30131707, preventing identification of geographic concentration, representative solicitations, response dates, or issuing-body patterns. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity in the recent-opportunities dataset, no current market signals—such as active buyers, dollar ranges, or geographic hotspots—can be drawn. Monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and state schedule contracts for porcelain dinnerware and institutional tableware, as these items often flow through centralized procurement rather than individual jurisdiction RFPs.
