UNSPSC 48101504: Commercial use charcoal grills

UNSPSC 48101504 Commercial use charcoal grills (Commodity) encompasses large commercial food service equipment — convection ovens, ranges, steamers, dishwashers, walk-in coolers and freezers, gas valves, temperature controls, and associated parts and repair services — that school districts and state agencies procure for kitchen and nutrition facilities. State and local buyers under this code are predominantly large school districts managing multi-site food service operations, along with state agencies operating centralized food preparation or dining facilities. Scope spans both capital equipment purchases with installation and ongoing parts-and-supplies contracts, with many awards structured as firm fixed-price agreements covering delivery, installation, warranty support, and maintenance across multiple locations. Vendors must comply with federal nutrition assistance program requirements including Buy American provisions, prevailing wage standards where applicable, USDA debarment and drug-free workplace certifications, and state background check requirements for personnel assigned to school sites.

Recent activity centers on Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Northside Independent School District in Bexar County, Texas posted IFB 2026-078 Kitchen Equipment, Parts, Supplies, Rentals, Repairs & Services on May 5, 2026 with a May 28, 2026 response deadline, seeking firm fixed pricing maintained for one year across 132 schools with options to renew two additional years; the district participates in the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance, extending contract value to other member jurisdictions at matched or better pricing. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida issued ITB 26147-ITB-DST for large food service equipment delivery to multiple school sites, originally due May 26, 2026 but superseded by a Notice of Intent to Award on June 30, 2026, with federal funding through USDA and mandatory Buy American and prevailing wage compliance. A Georgia state agency posted RFP 9060_1005_210 on October 5, 2026 seeking purchase and installation of three natural gas convection ovens, with proposals due November 2, 2026. The code shows consistent activity among school districts and state food service operations pursuing multi-location deployments with federal nutrition-program compliance requirements.
