UNSPSC 48101905: Food service cups or mugs

UNSPSC 48101905 Food service cups or mugs is a Commodity code that covers disposable and reusable beverage service vessels used across food service and hospitality operations in state and local government facilities. State and local governments procure these items primarily for convention centers, cafeterias, catering operations, and public gathering spaces where food and beverage service occurs. Issuing bodies include county government procurement offices, municipal convention and event management authorities, and special-purpose venue operators such as convention centers that require ongoing supplies of compliant serviceware.

Orange County, Florida issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB Y26-165) on April 13, 2026, for food and beverage smallwares for the Orange County Convention Center, with a response deadline of April 30, 2026. The solicitation encompassed cups, mugs, and related smallwares from eleven authorized manufacturers (Libbey, Cal-Mil, Carlisle, Eastern Tabletop, and others), structured as a five-year term contract with fixed-percentage discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price, an estimated total budget of $2,145,000 across all manufacturers, and a Service Disabled Veteran Business enterprise preference of up to 8% on eligible bids. The Orange County opportunity represents the most concrete recent state and local activity under this code; a parallel law enforcement equipment solicitation posted by Sourcewell in May 2026 was tagged with this code but contains no actual food service cups or mugs procurement activity and appears to be a classification mismatch.
