UNSPSC 48102008: Condiment counters

UNSPSC 48102008 Condiment counters (Commodity) covers kitchen and food service countertops and related serving-line equipment that state and local governments procure for schools, public housing, correctional facilities, parks, and municipal buildings. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a mix of fixed countertop construction (built-in units with custom materials and integrated appliance cutouts), modular serving-line systems for cafeterias, and concrete or durable-surface outdoor dining tables—the latter a notable category mismatch that reflects how jurisdictions sometimes tag fixture-heavy work to the countertops code. Issuing bodies span large urban school districts (Temple ISD, Northside ISD, Cobb County Schools), county and municipal governments (Sarasota County, City of Pembroke Pines, City of Dallas), state juvenile corrections and higher education (Texas Juvenile Justice Department, Middle Georgia State University), and housing authorities (Housing Authority of Clackamas County). School districts appear as repeat buyers, with multiple IFBs and RFPs for cafeteria equipment and serving-line installations. Work scopes range from labor-and-material kitchen remodels with Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage compliance (Pembroke Pines quartz countertops, Texas Juvenile Justice culinary-classroom counters, housing authority cabinet-and-countertop replacements) to turnkey serving-line procurement including delivery and installation (Cobb County four-unit serving-line IFB, Temple High School RFP for walk-in coolers, six serving lines, and 31 additional cafeteria items).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and the wider Southeast, with solicitations posted between January and July 2026. Representative procurements include Temple Independent School District's March 2026 RFP (RFP-008-26) seeking kitchen equipment and fixtures for a new cafeteria with proposal deadline March 25, 2026; Cobb County School District's February 2026 IFB (B26092) for four serving lines with installation, due March 11, 2026; Rankin County School District's March 2026 sealed-bid for Richland High School serving-line improvements, due March 26, 2026; and Housing Authority of Clackamas County's May 2026 on-demand contract for cabinet and countertop replacement across multiple properties, due June 3, 2026. The Sarasota County July 2026 quote request (2026QQ785) for four concrete park tables, due July 24, 2026, illustrates the code's capture of non-kitchen outdoor fixtures. School district procurements typically require NSF certification, UL or ETL listing, ENERGY STAR qualification, and ADA compliance; housing and correctional projects impose Davis-Bacon and HUD Section 3 labor standards, performance bonding, and retainage. Evaluation criteria across solicitations emphasize pricing, technical compliance with specifications, vendor experience in K-12 or public-sector food service, warranty and service-response commitments, and delivery logistics.
