UNSPSC 48101812: Commercial use strainers

UNSPSC 48101812 Commercial use strainers is a Commodity code that encompasses kitchen smallwares, food service equipment, and related culinary tools used by school districts, county departments, and specialized facilities in food-service operations. State and local governments procure strainers alongside broader categories of smallwares—thermometers, scoops, measuring cups, sheet pans, serving pans, and cutting implements—primarily through school nutrition programs, county food services, and institutional dining operations. Recent solicitations show activity across school districts, county procurement offices, and state-supported facility operations seeking individual items or comprehensive smallwares catalogs for multi-site service delivery.

The issuing-body mix skews heavily toward school systems and school-affiliated nutrition programs, with secondary activity from county departments and state agencies managing food service operations. Georgia school districts appear most active in the recent record, including Bartow County School System, Baconton Community Charter School, and Colquitt County School Nutrition, alongside Atlanta Public Schools soliciting broader kitchen equipment services. Gwinnett County in Georgia posted a smallwares catalog discount contract (RFQ B-2714AM) due October 16, 2026; Bartow County School System issued an IFB for school nutrition paper goods and supplies (IFB 2027-03) with responses due September 2, 2026; and Colquitt County School Nutrition requested sealed bids for kitchen smallwares (IFB SY26-27) with bids due June 15, 2026. Outside Georgia, activity includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting kitchen supplies and equipment for the Richmond State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017726, bids due August 14, 2026, estimated fiscal 2025 spending $25,000–$50,000) and Hillsborough County requesting miscellaneous kitchen supplies for various departments (RFP 26P00386, proposals due July 8, 2026). The geographic concentration centers on Georgia and Texas, with isolated postings in Ohio showing insufficient detail for characterization.
