UNSPSC 48101617: Commercial use plastic shovels

UNSPSC 48101617 Commercial use plastic shovels is a Commodity-tier code that spans state and local procurement of foodservice equipment, supplies, and related services—though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct relevance to plastic shovels themselves. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code predominantly cover commercial kitchen equipment, smallwares, serving lines, walk-in coolers and freezers, refrigeration units, heating and holding cabinets, convection ovens, steamers, serving tables and dining furniture, and support services including equipment maintenance, repairs, and installations across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. State and local buyers under this code span school districts (Baconton Community Charter, Tacoma School District, Mesquite ISD, Klein ISD, Somerset ISD, Plainwell Community Schools, Beaverton School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Northside ISD, and numerous others in Georgia, Texas, and beyond), county school systems (Dougherty County, Fulton County, Henry County, Colquitt County, Richmond County, Upson County, Houston County, Barrow County), county correctional facilities and support agencies (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and Texas HHSC/DSHS), municipal fire departments and senior centers (College Park, Georgia; Gwinnett County, Georgia), and statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles (Georgia Educational Cooperative). Major repeat buyers include Texas school districts and Georgia county school nutrition programs, which dominate the recent activity block.

The code shows active procurement across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Missouri, Michigan, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, with Texas and Georgia school districts and county education boards as the primary concentration. Representative recent opportunities include Klein ISD's RFP for walk-in cooler and freezer combo units with installation (due June 4, 2026), Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for tilt skillet braising pans (due July 15, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bids for food safety and sanitation program services and small equipment across 24 school sites (due June 17 and May 28, 2026), Tacoma School District's RFP for annual kitchen hood inspections and on-call repair service across 50 locations (due July 24, 2026), Beaverton School District's ITB for 345 food bars, worktables, and point-of-sale carts to 45 school locations (due March 26, 2026), and Atlanta Public Schools' RFP for commercial kitchen equipment repair, preventive maintenance, and installation services across multiple facility types (due May 20, 2026). Most opportunities post as RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs with response windows of 30–60 days, many requiring firm fixed pricing, on-site delivery, installation, and warranty provisions; several include mandatory pre-bid meetings or site visits.
