UNSPSC 48101530: Commercial use rice cookers

UNSPSC 48101530 Commercial use rice cookers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity under it does not reflect rice cookers. Temple Independent School District in Bell County, Texas posted RFP00826 on March 2, 2026 (due March 25, 2026) to solicit kitchen equipment and fixtures for a new high school cafeteria, including walk-in cooler/freezer units, serving lines, convection ovens, refrigeration units, ice machines, and storage shelving. The procurement is structured as a line-item bid allowing multiple vendor awards, with delivery required by October 2026 and installation provided by the general contractor. Evaluation criteria span pricing (40 points), quality and compliance with NSF certification, UL or ETL listing, ENERGY STAR qualification, ADA accessibility, and FDA Food Code standards (25 points), vendor qualifications with minimum five years of continuous operation in K-12 institutional food service (15 points), past district relationships (10 points), warranty coverage with 24-hour critical service response (5 points), and delivery logistics (5 points). Vendors must carry $1,000,000 commercial general liability coverage, provide three references from school district clients within three years, and comply with federal certifications including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and Buy American Act requirements. TISD encourages MBE, WBE, and HUB participation.

This code shows minimal recent relevant activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single posted opportunity is a comprehensive school cafeteria equipment procurement that does not specifically call for rice cookers and instead focuses on larger commercial food-service infrastructure. No geographic concentration, repeat-buyer pattern, or sustained activity under this code is evident from available state and local solicitations.
