UNSPSC 48101904: Food service stemware

UNSPSC 48101904 Food service stemware is a Commodity code that encompasses glassware, drinkware, and related tabletop serviceware purchased by convention centers, hospitality venues, and public facilities for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show that governments buy complete stemware and smallwares packages — glasses, stemware, plateware, and related service items — typically from established manufacturers under volume-discount agreements. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include convention authorities and special-purpose districts managing public venues. Orange County, Florida's Convention Center is a primary buyer, procuring food and beverage smallwares including stemware as part of a comprehensive inventory refresh.

Orange County, Florida posted IFB Y26-165 in July 2026 seeking sealed bids for food and beverage smallwares for the Orange County Convention Center, with responses due April 30, 2026. The solicitation covers products from eleven authorized manufacturers — Libbey, Eastern Tabletop, Carlisle, and others — under a five-year term contract with pricing structured as a fixed percentage discount off manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). The estimated five-year budget totals $2,145,000 across all manufacturers. Respondents must provide three client references for similar term contract work within the last ten years, maintain $1,000,000 in commercial general liability and auto liability insurance, and submit bids electronically through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform. Service Disabled Veteran Business enterprises registered as prime vendors are eligible for a preference allowing bids up to 8% higher than the lowest responsive bid. Standard free-on-board shipping within twenty days of delivery order receipt is included; expedited or specialized shipping requires prior approval. The source shows limited recent activity under this specific Commodity code; the second opportunity identified (Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP) does not address food service stemware and appears to be a data-tagging mismatch.
