UNSPSC 48101816: Commercial use cutlery pouch

UNSPSC 48101816 Commercial use cutlery pouch is a Commodity code that covers individual utensil storage and organization products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and food service operations. Recent activity shows school districts and related food service entities sourcing cutlery pouches as part of broader smallwares and food service supply contracts, alongside thermometers, scoops, measuring cups, serving pans, aprons, and protective equipment. The code captures discrete items bundled into school nutrition procurement rather than standalone specialty equipment orders. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition programs (Baconton Community Charter School in Georgia, Colquitt County School District in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Houston County School District in Georgia, and Washington County School District in Utah) supplemented by municipal child care and food service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas for its Child and Adult Care Food Program, and Atlanta Public Schools for kitchen operations across Fulton County).

Recent opportunities span the Southeast and Southwest, with notable concentration in Georgia school districts (Baconton, Colquitt County, Henry County, Houston County), followed by Texas (City of Edinburg), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Utah (Washington County), and Minnesota-based cooperative purchases through Sourcewell. Representative solicitations include Colquitt County School Nutrition's sealed IFB for kitchen smallwares due June 15, 2026, specifying 295 line items including cutlery from brands such as Winco, Carlisle, and Dexter Russell across multiple school sites; Baconton Community Charter School's sealed bid for smallware and small equipment due August 3, 2026, naming knives and serving implements; Henry County Schools' IFB for cafeteria smallwares due May 5, 2026, requiring weekly Monday–Friday deliveries to 52 school nutrition locations; and Rockwood R-VI School District's competitive bid for small equipment due April 28, 2026, covering food service utensils and protective gear. School nutrition programs typically evaluate bids on price (30–40 percent weight), vendor qualifications and experience, product quality, and delivery capability, with awards frequently extending one year with up to four renewal options at fixed pricing.
