UNSPSC 48101920: Straw dispensers

UNSPSC 48101920 Straw dispensers is a Commodity code covering consumable foodservice and janitorial supplies that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis. The recent activity shows that the code encompasses a much broader set of items than the nominal category name — straw dispensers represent only a small component of what is actually being solicited. State and local buyers under this code are predominantly county and school district food service and operations departments, procuring disposable and consumable products in high volume across multiple locations. The supplies include aluminum foil, plastic aprons, food bags, bowls, cups, lids, food trays, napkins, utensils, bento boxes, to-go containers, pizza boxes, and other papergoods and disposables that support daily food service and facility maintenance operations. Issuing bodies range from large county governments managing multiple service locations to school district nutrition programs spanning several schools within a district.
