UNSPSC 48111103: Snack or small package goods display machines

UNSPSC 48111103 Snack or small package goods display machines is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure vending machine concession and full-service operation contracts under this code—vendors supply, install, stock, maintain, and service machines dispensing snacks, beverages, and perishable items across municipal facilities, airports, schools, county buildings, correctional institutions, and transit terminals. The scope encompasses equipment provision, stocking and restocking cycles (ranging from twice-weekly to continuous), cashless and card payment integration, maintenance with response times typically measured in hours to one business day, and revenue-sharing arrangements structured as commission percentages on gross sales. A secondary stream involves vending equipment, maintenance, and parts procurement for existing infrastructure. Issuing bodies span city procurement departments, county commissioners' courts, independent school districts, state departments (workforce commissions, corrections, human services), airport authorities, and transit agencies. Counties and state agencies dominate the recent opportunity mix, with cities and school districts also active. Texas leads in recent posting volume (McKinney, Collin County, Galveston County, Williamson County, Brownsville Metro, Temple, Katy ISD), followed by Florida (Escambia County, Okaloosa County, Marion County, Doral, Orlando), Georgia (corrections system across multiple facilities), and scattered activity in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio, and California.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the diversity of scope and issuing bodies. The City of McKinney, Texas issued RFP 2638RFP (due August 13, 2026) for airport concession vending at its commercial terminal—three post-security and up to two pre-security machines subject to TSA requirements. Escambia County, Florida posted RFP PD2526091 (due August 25, 2026) for countywide snack and beverage vending across 27 buildings requiring 87 machines, 365-day service, modern payment systems, and equally weighted evaluation on repair response time, item costs, commission rates, machine selection, and prior references. Katy Independent School District issued RFP 2521SM (due July 2, 2026) for snack machines across 92 campuses, with equipment ownership retained by the vendor and strict compliance with USDA Smart Snacks and district wellness policy requirements. The Texas Workforce Commission solicited RFP 3202600180 (due July 27, 2026) for approximately 145 machines across eight state agency locations with evaluation weighted heavily toward beverage commissions (65%), snacks (30%), and miscellaneous items (5%), and estimated annual contract values ranging from $5,773 to $451,309 by location. The School Board of Marion County, Florida issued ITB 4172MF (due March 23, 2026) establishing a term contract allowing schools to select preferred vendors, with USDA Smart Snacks compliance required for student-facing machines. Georgia Department of Corrections issued multiple solicitations for correctional facility vending (Ware State Prison, West Central ITF, Burruss CTC, Metro facilities, Patten PDC, Helms, and Tift/Fleet locations) posted January–February 2026 with compressed timelines and commission-percentage-driven awards. The City of Cincinnati Department of Public Services issued RFP 265X901174 (due May 21, 2026) with significant evaluation weight (25 points) on Economic Inclusion certification status (SBE, MBE, WBE, ELBE, SLBE). Geographic concentration in Texas, Florida, and Georgia reflects sustained procurement activity; secondary clusters include Arizona (Paradise Valley USD, Phoenix), Colorado (Parker), North Carolina (Wake County), and California (Hayward). Most contracts feature fixed-term initial periods (12 to 36 months) with optional annual renewals, commission-based vendor compensation tied directly to sales revenue, and municipal provision of utilities and space.
