UNSPSC 48101606: Commercial use graters

UNSPSC 48101606 Commercial use graters is a Commodity code covering commercial kitchen equipment and related food service items that state and local governments purchase for school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and institutional food operations. The recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are acquiring a mix of large-scale kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, and service contracts—including commercial food processors, mixers, refrigeration units, cooking equipment, ventilation systems, and repair or preventive maintenance services. School districts represent the dominant buyer segment, with independent school districts in Texas (Somerset ISD, Northside ISD) and Georgia (Atlanta Public Schools) posting multiple opportunities. State health agencies also procure under the code: the Illinois Department of Human Services solicited a commercial food processor in August 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested kitchen equipment and supplies for a state-supported living center in July 2026. The scope of work ranges from capital equipment acquisition to ongoing repair and maintenance contracts on an as-needed basis.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, where school districts have posted multiple solicitations in recent months. The Illinois Department of Human Services posted a food processor bid with a September 8, 2026 response date. Most representative are the Northside ISD sealed-bid procurement (IFB 2026-078) due May 28, 2026, seeking comprehensive kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services across 132 schools and 15 support sites with firm pricing to be maintained for one year and options to renew for two additional one-year periods; and the Atlanta Public Schools RFP (PE76110NONST2026000000137) due May 20, 2026, for commercial kitchen equipment repair, preventive maintenance, installation, and replacement services across eight categories with evaluation on a 500-point scale and a pre-proposal conference scheduled for April 29, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0017689) due July 29, 2026, requesting Robot Coupe food processing equipment, a KitchenAid hand mixer, stainless steel steam table pans, and disposable aprons with HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) program requirements and a one-year contract term starting September 1, 2026. School districts frequently use cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance to extend awarded contracts to other member districts at the same or better pricing.
