UNSPSC 48101502: Commercial use barbeque ovens

UNSPSC 48101502 Commercial use barbeque ovens is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of commercial kitchen ovens—primarily convection, combi, and combination oven-steamer units for institutional food service rather than outdoor barbeque equipment. State and local governments use this code to solicit commercial-grade cooking equipment for schools, correctional facilities, psychiatric centers, and other institutional kitchens. Solicitations typically bundle the oven unit itself with delivery, on-site installation, assembly, and operational turnover, and require vendors to meet exacting technical specifications—electrical and gas service requirements, sheet-pan capacity, BTU output, NSF or FDA certification—as well as mandatory state certifications covering debarment status, E-Verify participation, tax compliance, and prevailing wage obligations where applicable. Issuing bodies include state departments of criminal justice and human services, school districts, and state psychiatric hospital systems, with procurement notices structured as Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Quotation (RFQ).

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and reflects both K–12 and corrections demand. Texas School for the Deaf issued IFB 6907004 in June 2026 for a Rational iCombi Pro double stack oven with on-site installation at its Austin campus, with responses due June 24, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Garza West Unit solicited kitchen ovens through IFB IW240379 with an April 2, 2026 response deadline, requiring NSF certification and 14-day delivery. Outside Texas, the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services issued RFQ 10A26032700000000000243 in April 2026 on behalf of Riverview Psychiatric Center for two Blodgett MARK V-100 double electric convection ovens with August 31, 2026 installation completion; a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit occurred April 8, 2026 in Augusta. The Illinois Department of Human Services posted solicitation 26444DHSDEVDIB50814 in January 2026 for a combination oven-steamer at Elisabeth Ludeman Center in Park Forest, with proposals due February 6, 2026. All recent solicitations required vendors to certify compliance with applicable state procurement rules, maintain commercial liability and workers compensation insurance, and submit firm pricing for 30 days post-bid.
