UNSPSC 48101803: Commercial use scoops

UNSPSC 48101803 Commercial use scoops, a Commodity code, covers kitchen smallwares and food-service disposables that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and general kitchen operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and county systems purchasing scoops alongside related smallwares—measuring cups, thermometers, sheet pans, serving pans, spoodles, utensil dispensers, and cutlery—typically as part of broader school nutrition program supply contracts. Issuing bodies under this code are primarily school districts and county school systems, with secondary activity from county purchasing offices sourcing kitchen supplies for multiple departments and state agencies operating residential care facilities. Repeat buyers include Colquitt County School Nutrition, Baconton Community Charter School, Bartow County School System, and Atlanta Public Schools, all in Georgia; these jurisdictions solicit smallwares annually or semi-annually to support ongoing food service operations.

Geographic concentration centers on Georgia, where Colquitt County, Baconton, Bartow County, Atlanta Public Schools, and Fulton County Schools have posted active smallwares and related kitchen-equipment procurements between May and October 2026. Texas activity appears secondary, with Hillsborough County and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sourcing miscellaneous kitchen supplies and food-service equipment. Representative recent opportunities include Colquitt County School Nutrition's sealed-bid solicitation (IFB SY26-27) for 295 line items of kitchen smallwares with bids due June 15, 2026; Baconton Community Charter School's sealed-bid request for smallwares and small equipment including scoops, thermometers, and sheet pan racks, bids due July 20, 2026; and Bartow County School System's sealed-bid solicitation (IFB 2027-03) for paper goods and supplies serving trays and containers, bids due September 2, 2026. These procurements typically run one school year with renewal options, require firm fixed pricing, include all packing and transportation, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with no set-asides noted.
