UNSPSC 48101543: Commercial use jacketed boiling pan

A high volume boiling pan with a heat jacket that allows for the cooking of sauces etc.

UNSPSC 48101543 Commercial use jacketed boiling pan (Commodity) covers the purchase of individual commercial cooking vessels for state and local food service operations. State and local governments buy jacketed boiling pans and related tilting kettles as standalone equipment line items within broader kitchen renovations, equipment replacement cycles, and food service department upgrades, often as part of larger procurement packages that bundle multiple cooking, holding, and serving appliances. Issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high schools and special nutrition programs), state corrections facilities, county sheriffs' offices, municipal fire departments, and state health agencies. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple independent school districts and county boards of education posting specifications for kitchen equipment packages that include jacketed kettles alongside convection steamers, walk-in coolers, and serving lines. Texas issues appear most frequently, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Texas independent school districts soliciting tilt skillet braising pans and related cooking equipment; Georgia school systems and county boards of education also show consistent activity under this code. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW255041 for tilt skillet braising pans (due July 15, 2026), an IFB by an unnamed Texas issuing body for Cleveland Durapan tilt skillet equipment (IW255041A, due July 31, 2026), and Jasper County Charter System RFP 2026-8013-0100 in Georgia for a Cleveland Range convection steamer alongside multiple other cooking units (due April 20, 2026). These solicitations typically use sealed-bid or RFP formats, require firm fixed pricing inclusive of delivery and installation, and demand manufacturer specifications or approved equivalents with one to three-year warranties.

The code sees steady activity across the South and Southwest, concentrated in Texas and Georgia school systems and state agencies. Texas corrections, state health agencies, and independent school districts in the Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio areas post the most recent opportunities. Georgia school nutrition programs, from large unified systems like Atlanta Public Schools and Fulton County Schools to smaller county boards like Dougherty County and Barrow County, consistently solicit kitchen equipment packages that include jacketed kettles or tilting skillets. Opportunities cluster around budget cycles (summer procurement for next school year) and facility upgrades. Most recent solicitations posted between February and July 2026 show school districts prioritizing end-of-fiscal-year equipment replacement and new facility buildouts. Bid response windows typically run 30 to 60 days, with pre-bid meetings and site visits common, particularly for larger multi-item procurements. Vendors must hold EPA 608 certification for refrigeration work when included in the scope, provide three to five years of demonstrated school or institutional food service experience, maintain general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, and comply with Buy American provisions and USDA regulations when federal funding flows through school nutrition programs.
