UNSPSC 48101921: Food service cutlery or flatware dispenser or systems

Commercial food services tools or method of hygienic distribution of flatware or disposable cutlery.

UNSPSC 48101921 Food service cutlery or flatware dispenser or systems is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses disposable food service packaging and supply products — food storage bags, foam and paper containers, food trays, food wraps, cups with lids, and related items — rather than cutlery dispensers or flatware systems as the code name suggests. School districts and state correctional agencies are the primary issuing bodies under this code. Washington County School District in Utah issued a Non-Food Bid (CN 2026-27) on April 28, 2026, for approximately 80 distinct product categories of disposable food preparation, packaging, serving, and storage supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across 37 school sites, with evaluation weighted toward price (40%), product quality (25%), delivery capability and schedule (20%), and vendor references and past performance (15%). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice conducted a cooperative purchasing procurement (IW240434) through the Texas General Services Commission for beverage carrier containers and related products, with a bid deadline of March 31, 2026, quoted F.O.B. destination and firm for 30 days from opening.

Recent activity is concentrated in Utah and Texas. Washington County School District's 2026-27 solicitation required weekly deliveries to elementary, intermediate, middle, and high schools in St. George, Washington, Hurricane, Santa Clara, Enterprise, and Hildale, with annual usage quantities ranging from single units to 4,600 cases per line item and contract duration through June 30, 2027, renewable annually for up to four additional years. All products must meet FDA and USDA standards and be delivered in clean vehicles during designated hours (before 7 a.m. or after 4 p.m.); vendors must provide at least three references from school districts or similar institutional clients and certifications regarding debarment, suspension, and anti-lobbying compliance. The District intended to award the aggregate bid to a single vendor but reserved the right to award multiple vendors in its best interest, with pricing firm for the contract duration unless prior written approval was granted. The Texas cooperative purchasing contract carried potential set-asides for small businesses, HUBs, or other designated vendor categories, with delivery required within 14 calendar days unless the bidder specified otherwise.
