UNSPSC 48101820: Commercial kitchen hood

An air exhauster installed in a restaurant, kitchen, cookery, etc. in order to exhaust smoke, heat and smell when cooking. There are two types in use: filtered and non filtered, and three types in shape: pyramid, square, and circle.

UNSPSC 48101820 Commercial kitchen hood is a Commodity code covering removal, installation, cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and repair of commercial exhaust hood systems in food service operations. State and local governments procure under this code for kitchen hood equipment replacement in new or renovated cafeterias, hood cleaning and fire suppression system services across school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, and preventive maintenance contracts spanning multiple institutional locations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Dougherty County Board of Education, Pinellas County School District, Fairfield Public Schools, Temple Independent School District, Davis Technical College), state correctional and rehabilitation agencies (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, California Department of Rehabilitation Business Enterprises Program), county governments (Santa Clara County, Pinellas County), and specialized public entities (Tooele County, Middle Georgia State University). School districts and state agencies appear most active, with school nutrition programs and correctional facilities driving routine hood cleaning and maintenance contracts, while capital projects generate equipment replacement and installation work.

Recent activity spans California, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Utah, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the Santa Clara County request for replacement kitchen equipment at Levi's Stadium (IFB, due August 6, 2026), the Dougherty County Board of Education hood cleaning services across 26 school locations (sealed bid, due July 28, 2026), the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation kitchen hood fire suppression system replacement at Pelican Bay State Prison (IFB C5613341-D, due July 27, 2026, state estimate $2.429 million), and the Pinellas County School District cafeteria and culinary exhaust hood cleaning and service contract (sealed electronic bid, due June 23, 2026). Cleaning and preventive maintenance work typically flows under annual or three-year terms with per-unit or hourly pricing; equipment installation and replacement projects are often fixed-price, lump-sum, or line-item awards tied to capital construction timelines. Compliance with NFPA 96 standards and fire suppression system certifications appear consistently across solicitations, and several contracts require California C-16 Fire Protection Licensing or equivalent state trades licensing.
