UNSPSC 48101526: Commercial use waffle irons

UNSPSC 48101526 Commercial use waffle irons is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broad range of commercial kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services procured by school districts and other state and local foodservice operations. The recent solicitation activity shows that state and local buyers use this code to aggregate kitchen appliance purchases — including gas valves, faucets, sensors, temperature controls, walk-in coolers and freezers, ranges, steamers, ovens, and dishwashers — alongside repair services and parts across multiple facility locations. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, reflecting the scale and complexity of multi-campus foodservice operations that require centralized procurement of both capital equipment and ongoing maintenance supplies.

Northside Independent School District (NISD) in Bexar County, Texas solicited sealed bids for kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services on May 5, 2026 through IFB 2026-078, with responses due May 28, 2026 at 11:00 AM Central Time via the Bonfire Portal. NISD serves 132 schools and 15 support sites across the district, and the contract runs for one year with two optional one-year renewals, with potential adoption by other Central Texas Purchasing Alliance member districts at matching or better terms. Vendors must provide firm pricing with discounts from published catalogs maintained for one year, maintain an online catalog accessible to all campuses, include FOB Destination shipping with inside delivery and liftgate-equipped trucking, and comply with debarment and conflict-of-interest certifications. The district reserves the right to award to a single vendor, multiple suppliers, or on a line-item basis; no minimum purchase volume is guaranteed, and contract performance is contingent on available funding.
