UNSPSC 48101501: Commercial use bain maries

UNSPSC 48101501 Commercial use bain maries is a Commodity code that captures commercial foodservice equipment and supplies purchased by state and local governments, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows schools and districts buying a broad range of kitchen equipment beyond the specific bain marie nameplate — including commercial appliances, walk-in coolers and freezers, ranges, steamers, ovens, dishwashers, gas valves, faucets, sensors, temperature controls, and associated repair services and parts. State and local governments procure through this code when equipping or maintaining cafeteria and food-service operations across multiple facilities. The issuing bodies are primarily large school districts with multi-location food-service networks that consolidate purchasing to achieve volume discounts and streamlined vendor management.

Northside Independent School District, the fourth largest public school system in Texas serving 132 schools and 15 support sites across Bexar County, posted Invitation for Bid 2026-078 on May 5, 2026 for Kitchen Equipment, Parts, Supplies, Rentals, Repairs & Services with a response deadline of May 28, 2026. The solicitation encompasses equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services across all district locations with delivery to San Antonio, Texas; awarded vendors must maintain an online catalog, provide firm pricing for one year, and accept Net 30 payment terms via Electronic Funds Transfer with FOB Destination inside delivery. The contract will be awarded for one year with two optional one-year renewals, with the district retaining discretion to award to a single vendor, multiple suppliers, or on a line-item basis. NISD is a member of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance, and successful bidders may have their pricing adopted by other CTPA member districts, potentially expanding contract scope. The source identifies no other recent state or local solicitations under this code and no minimum purchase volumes or guaranteed award values.
