UNSPSC 48102111: Food service or meal delivery cart

Cart used for food service or meal delivery.

UNSPSC 48102111 Food service or meal delivery cart is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure mobile food service equipment for school nutrition programs, institutional foodservice operations, and community meal-delivery initiatives. Recent solicitations show school districts acquiring purpose-built serving line systems with integrated hot wells, cold pans, and cashier stations for cafeteria modernization; mobile market programs seeking cart vendors to expand healthy food access in underserved areas; and institutional operators (state hospitals, correctional facilities) purchasing heated food delivery carts. The code encompasses both new equipment procurement and replacement of aging infrastructure, typically bundled with delivery, installation, removal of existing equipment, and warranty coverage.

School districts dominate issuing activity, with multiple independent school districts across Texas, Georgia, and Mississippi posting for cafeteria equipment upgrades in the past six months. State-level agencies including the Texas General Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Florida Department of Management Services also solicit under this code. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas (multiple IFBs for tray delivery carts from TDCJ, GSC, and school districts) and Georgia (Richmond County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Columbia County School District, Atlanta Public Schools), with secondary activity in Mississippi, Utah, and Florida. Representative opportunities include Richmond County Board of Education's RFQ for Hephzibah High School Cafeteria Serving Lines (six units of custom Delfield equipment, sealed bids due October 7, 2026); Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD's RFP for Commercial Food Service Serving Line Equipment at two intermediate schools (five and four-well configurations, proposals due August 4, 2026); the City of Cincinnati's RFI on a Healthy Food Access Mobile Market Program (information due October 23, 2026, seeking nonprofit and vendor input on mobile market operations); and Texas TDCJ's multiple IFBs for tray delivery carts (three separate solicitations in July–August 2026 with competitive bidding and potential small-business or Texas-resident set-asides under 34 TAC Rule 20.306).
