UNSPSC 48101603: Commercial use food choppers or cubers or dicers

UNSPSC 48101603 Commercial use food choppers or cuticers or dicers is a Commodity code capturing large commercial food service equipment and related supplies that school districts procure for their nutrition services operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts buying comprehensive kitchen equipment ranging from commercial appliances, ranges, steamers, and ovens to walk-in coolers and freezers, gas valves, faucets, sensors, temperature controls, dishwashers, and associated repair services and parts. The issuing bodies are independent school districts and county school systems managing multi-site food service operations. Hillsborough County Public Schools and Northside Independent School District in Texas represent the repeat buyers in the recent-opportunities block, each managing dozens of school nutrition facilities across their service areas and procuring equipment and supplies on an ongoing basis to support USDA-funded nutrition assistance programs.
