UNSPSC 48101814: Commercial use woks

UNSPSC 48101814 Commercial use woks, a Commodity code, encompasses kitchen smallwares and food service equipment that school districts, county governments, and municipal entities procure for cafeteria and food-service operations. State and local buyers under this code source discrete food-prep items—mixing bowls, sheet pans, thermometers, serving utensils, measuring tools, portable warming equipment, and related disposables—alongside small electrical equipment such as blenders and can openers. Recent solicitations show that this code captures both standalone smallwares contracts and portions of larger food-service procurement bundles that include paper goods, janitorial supplies, and maintenance services. Issuing bodies are predominantly school food authorities (county school systems and independent charter schools), with secondary activity from county health departments, municipal nutrition programs, and state-supported living facilities. School districts represent the dominant buyer class, with repeat activity from Georgia systems (Bartow County, Colquitt County, Baconton Community Charter School, and Atlanta Public Schools) and Texas health and human services agencies.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, and Ohio, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative solicitations include Colquitt County School Nutrition's sealed-bid request for kitchen smallwares with 295 line items and delivery to multiple school sites (bids due June 15, 2026, under IFB SY26-27); Baconton Community Charter School's sealed-bid procurement for smallware and small equipment including thermometers, scoops, blenders, and utility carts (bids due July 20, 2026); Bartow County School System's sealed-bid request for paper goods and supplies serving school nutrition operations during 2026-2027 (bids due September 2, 2026, under IFB 2027-03); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's bid request for kitchen supplies and equipment for the Richmond State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017726 (bids due August 14, 2026, with historical spending between $25,000 and $50,000). Gwinnett County's smallwares catalog discount contract (responses due October 16, 2026) represents a procurement-vehicle alternative to traditional sealed bidding. Most school-based solicitations carry standard federal compliance requirements—debarment verification for bids exceeding $25,000, Buy American provisions for food products, and HACCP documentation—with initial contract terms typically running through the end of the school year plus renewal options of up to four additional one-year periods.
