UNSPSC 48101500: Cooking and warming equipment

UNSPSC 48101500 Cooking and warming equipment is a Class code covering the procurement, installation, repair, and maintenance of commercial kitchen appliances and food service equipment by state agencies, school districts, counties, and special-purpose facilities. State and local governments use this code to source convection ovens, ranges, steamers, walk-in coolers and freezers, dishwashers, warming equipment, and associated parts and services for cafeterias, correctional facilities, stadiums, and agency dining operations. Solicitations under the code span equipment purchases bundled with installation, standalone repair and preventive maintenance contracts, parts and supply agreements, and integrated service programs where vendors furnish equipment while maintaining a live catalog accessible to multiple sites across a jurisdiction.

Recent activity shows school districts as the dominant issuing body, with Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Northside Independent School District (Texas), and other systems regularly procuring large volumes of food service equipment for nutrition programs; state agencies follow as secondary buyers, including Georgia's unspecified agency, Connecticut Department of Administrative Services, and Santa Clara County. The geographic spread spans Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, and California, with activity concentrated in large multi-site school districts that operate centralized procurement for dozens of campuses. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026-078 for kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services across 132 schools and 15 support sites, with sealed bids due May 28, 2026; Connecticut Department of Administrative Services' ITB 26PSX0157 for commercial kitchen repair and preventive maintenance services at state agency and Department of Correction facilities statewide, with bids due October 7, 2026 and offering price preferences of up to fifteen percent for veteran-owned micro businesses; Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26147-ITB-DST for delivery of large food service equipment to individual school sites, federally funded through USDA's Food and Nutrition Service and subject to Buy American provisions and prevailing wage compliance; and Santa Clara County's RFB FY260096 for replacement kitchen equipment at Levi's Stadium with installation and full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing integration, bids due August 6, 2026.
