UNSPSC 48101523: Commercial use smokers or smoke ovens

UNSPSC 48101523 Commercial use smokers or smoke ovens, a Commodity code, covers the purchase and installation of commercial kitchen equipment for school nutrition programs, detention facilities, and community centers. State and local governments buying under this code procure commercial convection ovens, combi ovens, and related food service equipment—typically natural gas or electric units—along with delivery, installation, and equipment disposal. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Corsicana ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Life School, Texas School for the Deaf), county school systems (Hillsborough County), county government departments (Gwinnett County, Pinellas County), and state agencies (Georgia state agency). School nutrition programs and detention center food service operations drive the majority of recent activity, reflecting federal funding through USDA School Nutrition Programs and detention facility budgets. Vendors typically must meet Buy American content standards, provide firm fixed pricing with freight prepaid and inside delivery, supply certificates of insurance naming the issuing body as additional insured, and comply with background check and E-Verify requirements where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Corsicana Independent School District solicited six commercial kitchen ovens across five facilities under RFP 2026-01 (due October 7, 2026, estimated contract value $360,000, with evaluation criteria including purchase price at 30 points, warranty and technical support at 15 points, and Texas HUB status at 5 points). Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITB 26147-ITBDST for large food service equipment delivery and installation at multiple school sites statewide, with USDA federal funding and Buy American provisions, prevailing wage compliance for contracts exceeding $100,000, and four addenda modifying specifications between May 4 and May 21, 2026. A Georgia state agency posted RFP 9060_1005_210 for purchase and installation of three natural gas convection ovens (due November 2, 2026). Pinellas County (Florida) solicited quarterly maintenance and service for detention center kitchen equipment including ovens, grills, and griddles under ITQ 260455, with a 5% small business preference and a 36-month contract term. Texas School for the Deaf requested bids for a commercial double stack oven system (Rational iCombi Pro 6-Full Combi-Duo) with on-site installation and equipment disposal under IFB 6-907-004.
