UNSPSC 48101616: Commercial use food slicers

UNSPSC 48101616 Commercial use food slicers is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of food-slicing equipment and related commercial kitchen apparatus by state and local governments. State and local agencies soliciting under this code are actually buying broader kitchen equipment packages that include food slicers alongside ranges, ovens, refrigeration units, steamers, dishwashers, mixers, vegetable cutters, and associated repair services and parts. Issuing bodies include school districts, state departments, and their operating facilities. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in Texas and the Florida Department of Transportation represent recent purchasers; NISD's procurement note indicates that contracts may be adopted by other cooperating districts through the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (CTPA), expanding the effective market for awarded vendors. Vendors must typically meet qualifications including five years of active commercial kitchen equipment experience, provide references and insurance documentation, and comply with federal and state debarment and business-authorization requirements.

Recent activity spans Texas and Florida. Northside Independent School District issued IFB 2026078 on May 5, 2026, for kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services with a May 28, 2026, response deadline, requiring electronic submission through the Bonfire Portal with firm pricing for one year and Net 30 payment terms. The Florida Department of Transportation issued ITB 15478 on March 26, 2026, for furnish and install of restaurant equipment at the Haydon Burns Building Kitchen in Tallahassee, with a mandatory site visit on April 1, 2026, and sealed bids due April 22, 2026, at 9:00 AM EST; the solicitation included three addenda and a Q&A cycle, with equipment including food slicers among 33–34 line items and lump-sum compensation for furnishing, delivery, assembly, and placement through December 30, 2026.
