UNSPSC 48102003: Salad bars

UNSPSC 48102003 Salad bars, a Commodity code, encompasses cafeteria furniture and serving-line fixtures that state and local governments procure for school nutrition facilities, capitol buildings, and county facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing complete cafeteria seating systems (booths, stools, chairs), serving-line counters and serving-line decor materials, conference and lunch tables, and ancillary equipment such as storage units and recycling centers, typically bundled with delivery, assembly, and installation services. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of administration, school districts, county governments, and community colleges. Colorado's Department of Personnel and Administration has posted two separate documented-quote solicitations for the same capitol cafeteria furniture project; Georgia school districts—Cherokee County, Effingham County, and Columbia County—have each issued RFPs for cafeteria and classroom furniture; and Gull Lake Community Schools in Michigan sought custom cafeteria tables with Palmer Hamilton specifications. Mt. San Antonio College in California issued an RFP for comprehensive furniture, fixtures, and equipment coordination services for a new 273,000-square-foot technology and health building.

Recent activity clusters in Colorado, Georgia, and Michigan, with secondary activity in California and Florida. The Colorado State Capitol cafeteria furniture project (solicitation DQ1AAHA20260003732, due May 30, 2026) seeks 26 line items totaling 167 units from OFS, Allermuir, HBF, Nucraft, and Watson, with a maximum budget of $250,000 and delivery and installation required between June 1 and December 1, 2026. The Cherokee County School District RFPs (PE55213NONST2026000000093, due May 7, 2026, and PE55213NONST2026000000095, due May 12, 2026) solicit interior design and materials for school nutrition cafe serving lines across K-12 districts in the Georgia Education Cooperative, with mandatory site visits and presentations required. Gull Lake Community Schools' Thomas Ryan Intermediate project (RFPGLCS2600000019091, due May 14, 2026) specifies 18 custom cafeteria tables and 24 stackable chairs from Palmer Hamilton, with completion by August 14, 2026. The code shows steady quarterly activity driven by school-year planning cycles and capital improvement projects at state facilities.
