UNSPSC 48101803: Commercial use scoops

UNSPSC 48101803 Commercial use scoops is a Commodity code that covers food-service hand tools and portioning equipment used in school cafeterias, child nutrition programs, and institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code procure smallwares such as food scoops, spoodles, measuring cups, dishers, and related hand tools for meal preparation and service. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county education systems, with occasional municipal or county general-service departments adding scoops to broader kitchen-supplies RFQs. School-nutrition programs dominate the market; districts solicit smallwares repeatedly throughout the fiscal year to replace worn items and outfit new facilities or expanded meal programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Colquitt County School Nutrition issued an IFB (PE55646NONST2027000000016) in May 2026 for kitchen smallwares across ten equipment categories including portioning equipment and food preparation tools, with bids due June 15, 2026, for School Year 2026-2027 service to multiple school sites. Baconton Community Charter School (Georgia) solicited sealed bids (PE55407NONST2027000000012) for kitchen smallware including scoops, spoodles, and measuring cups in June 2026, with response due August 3, 2026. Henry County Schools (Georgia) issued two substantially identical IFBs in March 2026 for cafeteria smallwares delivery to 52 nutrition locations with a May 5, 2026 deadline. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued an RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies (RFP2026017) in July 2026 including nonfood products and food storage items, due August 4, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited approximately 100 line items of small equipment and supplies in March 2026 with competitive bidding for multiple award winners across items, due April 28, 2026. Hillsborough County (Florida) and Houston County School District (Georgia) also posted miscellaneous kitchen supplies and warehouse-delivery RFQs; neither provided detailed scope in the source material, though both clearly encompass smallwares categories. The code shows steady, fragmented demand across school districts serving meal programs under USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and National School Lunch regulations, with firm pricing, FOB delivery terms, and 12-month initial contract periods standard across most opportunities.
