UNSPSC 48101540: Commercial use wok heating unit

High heat unit with single or multiple gas burners used in conjunction with wok pans and Asian cooking.

UNSPSC 48101540 Commercial use wok heating unit is a Commodity code for specialized commercial kitchen heating equipment, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity broadly consistent with comprehensive kitchen equipment procurement rather than wok-specific units. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in Texas solicited through IFB 2026-078 for kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services — a category encompassing gas ranges, steamers, ovens, dishwashers, walk-in coolers and freezers, temperature controls, and associated commercial appliances across 132 schools and 15 support sites. The scope reflects typical district procurement where a single code may span multiple equipment lines to consolidate supplier management and achieve volume pricing. Issuing bodies under this code include school districts managing district-wide food service operations and requiring multi-site delivery and maintenance capabilities. Vendors responding must provide electronic bids through procurement portals, maintain online catalogs accessible to all customer locations, furnish references and insurance certificates, and agree to firm pricing with discounts from published lists and Net 30 payment terms.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, where Northside Independent School District — the fourth largest public school system in the state — posted IFB 2026-078 with a response deadline of May 28, 2026. The contract awards to one year with two optional one-year renewals and explicitly allows adoption by other Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (CTPA) member districts at the same or better pricing, potentially extending successful bids across multiple cooperating jurisdictions. NISD noted that all vendors must respond to the new IFB to maintain their business relationship with the district, as this procurement replaced an expiring contract (IFB 2025-096) effective July 31, 2026. No minimum purchase volume is guaranteed, and awarded vendors must provide inside delivery with liftgate-equipped trucks, with FOB Destination and prompt-payment discounts factored into best-value evaluation.
