UNSPSC 48101618: Commercial use dishwashing machine parts

UNSPSC 48101618 Commercial use dishwasher machine parts is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of replacement components, installation services, and related equipment for commercial dishwashing systems serving school nutrition programs, healthcare facilities, senior services, and other institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show buying activity spanning dishwasher equipment replacement (removal and installation of complete units), parts procurement, maintenance contracts, and chemical supplies for warewashing operations—a broader scope than parts alone, reflecting how state and local procurement offices tag integrated food service equipment acquisitions under this code. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Northside Independent School District in Texas, West Hartford Public Schools in Connecticut), state agencies (Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs, Illinois State Police, Florida Department of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Orange County, California), and state mental health facilities. School districts and state veterans' nursing homes appear as repeat buyers, particularly in equipment replacement cycles.

Activity concentrates in Florida (two state veterans' facilities pursuing dishwasher replacement under separate ITBs with June 2026 dates) and Texas (Northside Independent School District's multi-location kitchen equipment IFB due May 28, 2026), with secondary activity in Georgia, Connecticut, California, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26147-ITB-DST (due originally May 26, 2026, superseded by Notice of Intent to Award June 30, 2026) for large food service equipment delivery across school sites under federal USDA Food and Nutrition Service funding with Buy American and prevailing wage compliance; Gwinnett County's annual RFQ (July 17, 2026) for industrial dish detergents and sanitizers across five senior centers with firm pricing across renewal options; the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs' ITB FDVA-ITB-26-013B for dishwasher removal and installation at Alexander Nininger State Veterans' Nursing Home (bids due June 11, 2026); and West Hartford Public Schools' RFP for comprehensive warewashing services across 16 locations (due June 5, 2026, covering equipment maintenance, chemical supply, and sanitation support for the 2026-2027 school year). Bidders typically must meet insurance, background screening, and equipment-specific certification requirements; federal compliance varies by funding source.
