UNSPSC 48101920: Straw dispensers

UNSPSC 48101920 Straw dispensers is a Commodity code that encompasses disposable foodservice supplies and janitorial consumables that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for ongoing operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing a broad range of single-use items — including straws, cups, lids, napkins, utensils, food trays, bowls, and related disposables — alongside traditional janitorial supplies for fire rescue departments, school nutrition programs, and county facilities. Counties and independent school districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with purchasing driven by high-volume, continuous-use environments such as fire rescue operations running 24 hours daily and school meal programs serving multiple campuses.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The Jones County School District in Gray, Georgia solicited sealed bids for paper products and foodservice supplies across seven school locations in an IFB issued April 28, 2026, with bids due May 28, 2026, and contract award within 60 days; the procurement runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options of up to four additional one-year terms. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Tampa, Florida issued ITB-26-00319 on July 7, 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies supporting 47 fire stations at an estimated contract value of $765,679.84, with bids due July 24, 2026 and standard delivery within 10 days of purchase order. Both opportunities emphasize vendor authorization, original packaging, established delivery windows, and multi-year contract potential with no guaranteed minimum volumes.
