UNSPSC 48101544: Commercial use direct heat boiling pan

A high volume boiling pan heated directly by gas or electricity

UNSPSC 48101544 Commercial use direct heat boiling pan (Commodity) represents single pieces of heavy-duty commercial kitchen equipment that state and local governments buy for institutional food service operations — primarily school districts, correctional facilities, senior centers, and state agencies running cafeterias and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing tilt skillets, steam kettles, convection steamers, walk-in coolers and freezers, and related serving-line components, often as part of larger kitchen renovation or equipment-replacement contracts. The code captures what is actually being procured: specific branded or equivalent commercial cooking and holding units with installation, delivery, and warranty, not abstract food service supplies or consumables.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Mesquite ISD, Klein ISD, Plainwell Community Schools, Baconton Community Charter, Tacoma School District, Temple ISD, Beaverton School District, Somerset ISD, Harlingen CISD, Northside ISD, Rockwood R-VI, multiple Georgia school nutrition programs), county and state government agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County, Bartow County Schools, Henry County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Colquitt County Schools, Fulton County Schools), and municipal entities (City of College Park). Texas leads in recent posting activity, with multiple TDCJ, HHSC, and independent school district solicitations posted between June and July 2026; Georgia sees sustained activity across county school systems; and scattered activity appears in Florida, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Michigan, and Oregon. School districts and state nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, reflecting federal National School Lunch Program and child nutrition program spending. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for tilt skillet braising pans due July 15, 2026 (IW255041); Mesquite ISD RFP for a custom walk-in cooler and freezer combo with installation due June 4, 2026 (RFP #2026-009), specifying ThermoKool or approved equal with comprehensive turnkey labor and materials; Klein ISD electronic RFP for child nutrition kitchen equipment at Epps Island Elementary due June 26, 2026, including walk-in refrigeration, walk-in freezer, serving counters, dishmachine, and vent ducts; and Atlanta Public Schools RFP for commercial kitchen equipment repair, preventive maintenance, installation, and replacement services across eight equipment categories due May 20, 2026, covering refrigeration, cooking, ventilation, warewashing, and ice machines on an as-needed basis across 50 school sites. The code shows active, recurring procurement focused on equipment replacement cycles, facility upgrades tied to school renovation projects, and on-call repair and maintenance contracts that span multiple seasons and jurisdictions.
