UNSPSC 48102102: Heated display cases

UNSPSC 48102102 Heated display cases is a Commodity code that encompasses commercial food service equipment and related supplies procured by school districts and other state and local entities to support cafeteria and kitchen operations. State and local buyers under this code purchase heated display cases alongside broader kitchen equipment portfolios—gas valves, faucets, temperature controls, commercial ranges, steamers, ovens, dishwashers, and associated repair services and parts. Issuing bodies are primarily large independent school districts managing food service across multiple campuses and support facilities. The work involves supplying equipment, parts, and maintenance services on contract with firm pricing held for annual periods, often with renewal options and the ability to award to multiple vendors or on a line-item basis depending on best value. Contracts typically require FOB Destination delivery with inside delivery and liftgate capability, online catalog access for ordering across all district locations, and Net 30 payment terms.

Northside Independent School District (NISD) in Bexar County, Texas, posted the most recent relevant activity under this code: IFB 2026-078 for Kitchen Equipment, Parts, Supplies, Rentals, Repairs & Services, with a response deadline of May 28, 2026 at 11:00 AM Central Time via the Bonfire Portal. NISD, the fourth-largest public school system in Texas serving 132 schools, is replacing an expiring contract (IFB 2025-096) and requires all incumbents to respond to the new solicitation or risk losing the business relationship. The award will be for one year with options to renew for two additional one-year periods, contingent on available funding with no minimum purchase guarantee. NISD is a member of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (CTPA), meaning awarded contracts may be adopted by other CTPA member districts at the same or better pricing, potentially expanding contract scope beyond NISD alone. No specific budget or award value is disclosed.
