UNSPSC 48101602: Commercial use electric can openers

UNSPSC 48101602 Commercial use electric can openers, a Commodity code, covers kitchen smallwares and equipment consumables that state and local governments—particularly school districts—acquire for cafeteria and food-service operations. The code encompasses not only electric can openers but a broader range of commercial food-prep equipment, parts, and supplies that school nutrition departments procure on a recurring basis to maintain kitchen operations across multiple sites. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and their nutrition departments, which post competitive solicitations (typically IFBs) on annual or multi-year cycles to establish blanket supply contracts. Recent opportunities show districts treating this code as part of larger kitchen-equipment and smallwares procurement strategies rather than narrowly targeting individual tool categories; vendors responding to these solicitations supply itemized catalogs of goods with firm pricing and fulfill orders on an as-needed basis to multiple school locations within a district.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in Bexar County, Texas, posted IFB 2026-078 on May 5, 2026, with a response deadline of May 28, 2026, soliciting kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services for 132 schools and 15 support sites; the contract is awarded for one year with two optional one-year renewals, and selected vendors must maintain online catalogs and provide FOB Destination delivery with inside service. Henry County Schools in Georgia posted IFB-2026-100100-0318 on March 18, 2026, with responses due May 5, 2026, seeking cafeteria smallwares for 52 school nutrition locations with weekly Monday–Friday delivery between 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM on an as-needed basis; the initial contract term runs July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewals. Both districts require general liability insurance, require vendors to submit through the Bonfire/Euna Procurement Portal, and do not guarantee minimum purchase volumes. No specific budget or award values are disclosed in either solicitation.
