UNSPSC 48101813: Commercial use whisks

UNSPSC 48101813 Commercial use whisks, a Commodity code, names a single product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service and kitchen-supply contracts rather than as standalone items. Recent solicitations show that commercial whisks and similar smallwares appear embedded in larger school nutrition and institutional food-service procurement bundles covering food storage, preparation tools, protective equipment, and cleaning supplies that support child nutrition programs, school cafeterias, and child-care meal operations. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and charter schools across multiple states, supplemented by city and county nutrition authorities serving breakfast and lunch programs. The purchasing pattern reflects standardized procurement cycles aligned to the academic year, with districts seeking NSF-certified items and compliance with USDA Buy American provisions and school food program regulations.

School districts in Georgia (Colquitt County, Henry County, Houston County, Baconton Community Charter School, Atlanta Public Schools) dominate recent activity, with additional opportunities from Texas (City of Edinburg), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Florida (Hillsborough County). Representative recent solicitations include Colquitt County School Nutrition's sealed-bid procurement for kitchen smallwares across 295 line items with June 15, 2026 bid opening (IFB SY26-27), Baconton Community Charter School's smallware and small equipment bid due August 3, 2026 covering thermometers, scoops, sheet pans, and a Hamilton Beach blender, the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal program supplies (including paper goods and nonfood items) due August 4, 2026 under a local-vendor preference, and Henry County Schools' cafeteria smallwares IFB for 52 school nutrition locations with weekly delivery requirements and May 5, 2026 deadline. Contract terms typically run through the end of the school year (June 30) with optional one- to four-year renewals, firm fixed pricing, and FOB delivery to individual school sites or central warehouses. Most awards allow multiple vendors per line item to ensure supply continuity. No recent activity supports law enforcement equipment or unrelated categories.
