UNSPSC 48101502: Commercial use barbeque ovens

UNSPSC 48101502 Commercial use barbeque ovens is a Commodity code covering the purchase, delivery, and installation of commercial cooking equipment—specifically convection ovens, combi ovens, and full-size stacked ovens—for school nutrition programs, detention facilities, and community centers. State and local governments buy this code primarily for child nutrition operations across school districts and for food service at county facilities. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with independent school districts and county public school systems conducting the majority of recent solicitations; county purchasing offices and special-purpose facilities (detention centers, community centers) also solicit under this code. Vendors compete on price, warranty and technical support, installation quality, long-term cost, HUB or minority/women-owned business status where applicable, and delivery logistics. All solicitations require compliance with USDA federal regulations including Buy American provisions (where school nutrition funding is involved), prevailing wage standards on larger contracts, drug-free workplace certifications, debarment disclosures, and background checks for on-site installation personnel.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Florida. Corsicana Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP 2026-01 in September 2026 for six commercial kitchen ovens across five facilities with an estimated contract value of $360,000, evaluating vendors on a 100-point rubric weighting purchase price at 30 points and HUB/Texas business presence at 5 points each, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issued ITB 26147-ITB-DST in September 2026 for large food service equipment delivery to multiple school nutrition sites statewide under USDA National School Lunch Act funding and Buy American requirements, with a pre-screening qualification phase preceding formal bid evaluation. Georgia's Department of Financial Services Purchasing Division solicited RFP 9060_1005_210 in October 2026 for three natural gas convection ovens with proposals due November 2, 2026. Texas School for the Deaf posted IFB 6-907-004 in June 2026 for a commercial double stack oven (Rational iCombi Pro 6-Full Combi-Duo) with Texas state preferences applied. Pinellas County (Florida) issued ITQ 26-0455 in August 2026 for preventive maintenance, service, and repairs of existing detention-center kitchen equipment—ovens, grills, griddles, and dishwashing machines—as a 36-month contract with SBE 5% price preference eligibility, representing an alternative revenue stream for vendors with service capabilities.
