UNSPSC 48102110: Food hamper

A container, often a wicker basket, for storing or transporting foodstuffs

UNSPSC 48102110 Food hamper (Commodity) represents a narrow food product line that state and local governments buy primarily as components of larger school nutrition, facility food service, and corrections food supply contracts rather than as standalone purchases. Recent solicitations show that the code captures activity in school district kitchen equipment and food service supply procurement, though the opportunities block reveals a significant mismatch: most tagged solicitations pursue walk-in coolers, steamers, tilt skillets, smallwares, serving lines, and food safety supplies—commercial kitchen equipment and consumables—rather than packaged food hampers as the code name suggests. School districts, county and state agencies, and independent school systems drive the bulk of solicitation activity, with Texas (including Houston County, Klein ISD, Magnolia ISD, Temple ISD, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and Georgia (including multiple county school systems, Atlanta Public Schools, and state health facilities) showing the heaviest concentration of recent postings. A representative sample includes Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program (Georgia) soliciting sealed bids for a Food Safety and Sanitation Program covering cleaning products, hand soaps, sanitizers, and HACCP training delivery to 24 school sites (due June 17, 2026, IFB); Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) requesting sealed bids for kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services across 132 schools and 15 support sites (due May 28, 2026, IFB 2026-078); and Baconton Community Charter School (Georgia) bidding smallwares and small equipment including blenders, can openers, thermometers, and sheet pan racks (due August 3, 2026, sealed bid).

The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Michigan, Oregon, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, with Georgia and Texas accounting for roughly half of the recent postings. Most opportunities are school-district-led or state-agency-led, with counties and municipalities purchasing food service supplies and equipment for correctional facilities, parks departments, and senior centers. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Baconton, Magnolia, Somerset, Plainwell, Klein, Beaverton, Mesquite, Temple, Harlingen, Rockwood, Del Rio, Barrow, Bartow, Henry County, Dougherty County, Colquitt County, Fulton County, Upson County, Houston County, Chattahoochee Hills Charter), county school systems (Richmond County, Atlanta Public Schools/Fulton County), state health agencies (Texas HHSC, DSHS, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county detention facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and special institutions (Gwinnett County senior center, New Haven Public Schools). Set-asides, when named, include HUB (Historically Underutilized Business), MBE, WBE, DBE, and small-business preferences under state and federal purchasing regulations; cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the Georgia Educational Cooperative and Central Texas Purchasing Alliance appear in several postings. Pre-bid meetings, site visits, and mandatory vendor conferences are common; response dates range from April through August 2026, with most clustering in May through July.
