UNSPSC 48101509: Commercial use deep fryers

UNSPSC 48101509 Commercial use deep fryers is a Commodity code that covers commercial kitchen fryers purchased by state and local government entities, primarily school districts and county agencies for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show purchasing focused on large food service equipment delivery to school nutrition facilities and individual kitchen installations at public facilities, with scope ranging from multi-site equipment rollouts to single-unit purchases. Issuing bodies include school districts (particularly large urban districts like Hillsborough County Public Schools) and county government operations; these jurisdictions buy fryers both as part of comprehensive food service equipment programs and as standalone replacements for existing kitchen infrastructure. Equipment specifications in recent solicitations emphasize ventless fryer models with automated controls, integrated filtration and fire suppression systems, and production capacity targets aligned with high-volume institutional food service.

Recent activity centers in Florida, where Hillsborough County Public Schools posted ITB 26147-ITB-DST in September 2026 for large food equipment delivery across multiple school sites with firm fixed pricing and USDA compliance requirements (Buy American, prevailing wage, and debarment certifications), and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited quotes (ITQ2600314) in June 2026 for a single MTI AutoFry 5 ventless fryer with an estimated value of $12,725 and a July 9, 2026 response deadline. A broader cooperative purchasing vehicle, Sourcewell RFP #061626 posted in May 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, encompasses law enforcement equipment procurement but does not directly address commercial fryer purchasing. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in institutional food service contexts where equipment meets federal nutrition program compliance standards and high-production-volume operational requirements.
