UNSPSC 48102109: Plastic food wrap

Item used for packaging and storage of food and used for coverage of pans or containers used in the cooking process.

UNSPSC 48102109 Plastic food wrap, a Commodity code, covers disposable food-wrap and packaging products including plastic wrap film, shrink wrap, poly bags, and related containment and protection materials that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, county facilities, and institutional food service operations. The work is primarily solicited by school districts and county governments operating food service or multipurpose facility operations; school boards dominate the recent-opportunity mix, including Polk County Schools in Florida and Washington County Schools in Utah, along with county commissioners' offices managing fire rescue, public health, or general operations, such as Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida and the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury. Solicitations under this code typically bundle plastic wrap with broader consumable food-service categories—bags, containers, cups, trays, napkins, and related disposables—rather than isolating wrap as a standalone line item; bidders often respond to master line-item schedules with estimated annual quantities ranging from 15 cases to over 12,000 cases per product category.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the broader Southeast, with secondary presence in the Mountain West and state-level procurement offices. The School Board of Polk County, Florida issued ITB 002RW0727 in July 2026 for school nutrition consumable supplies (estimated value $1.465 million, one-year term) with wrapping materials embedded in a 47-line-item bundle; the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury issued Bid Solicitation 26DPP01297 in July 2026 for disposable food service items including poly wrap and related paper and plastic products, with delivery to West Trenton and no set-aside restriction. Washington County School District in Utah issued a Non-Food Bid (CN 2026-27) in April 2026 for approximately 80 product categories including food wraps for weekly delivery to 37 school sites, evaluated on price (40%), quality (25%), delivery capability (20%), and vendor references (15%), with award intended as all-or-none to a single vendor. Bidders must be authorized distributors, provide firm pricing for contract duration, meet FDA and USDA standards, maintain mandatory certifications (debarment, drug-free workplace, civil rights), and often submit three current references from school districts or institutional clients.
