UNSPSC 48111107: Cigarette machines

UNSPSC 48111107 Cigarette machines is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement encompasses full-service vending operations for snacks and beverages across municipal, county, airport, school district, university, and state agency facilities. Despite the code's nominal focus on cigarette machines, recent solicitations under this tag show no tobacco-product vending; instead, issuing bodies are procuring comprehensive vending services combining equipment supply, installation, restocking, maintenance, and revenue-sharing arrangements. State and local governments are buying snack and beverage vending for employee break rooms and public spaces, with vendors furnishing machines at no upfront cost to the municipality or agency, maintaining them to specific service levels (typically 95% uptime, repair response within 24 hours), accepting cashless payments, and remitting monthly commissions based on gross sales or fixed percentages. A subset of opportunities—particularly school districts and universities—impose nutritional compliance mandates (USDA Smart Snacks, wellness policies, or minimum healthy-product thresholds). Issuing bodies include county commissions and administrative offices (Escambia County, Collin County, White County), cities large and small (Doral, Hayward, Olathe, Parker, McKinney, Cincinnati), airports operated by municipalities or special aviation authorities (Orlando International, Hilton Head Island), independent school districts (Katy ISD), state universities (South Dakota State, Eastern Oregon), state workforce agencies (Texas Workforce Commission), state corrections and human-services departments (Georgia Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Human Services, City of Tucson Fire Department), and specialized state programs (Illinois BEP for the Blind). Escambia County and Collin County issued RFPs and IFBs in mid-2026; Katy ISD issued an RFP in July 2026 for 139 machines across 92 campuses; the Texas Workforce Commission issued an RFP for approximately 145 machines across eight locations with estimated contract values ranging from $5,773 to $451,309 by site; South Dakota State University solicited pouring rights and vending services for 113 machines across 46 buildings in May 2026.

Geographic concentration spans multiple regions: Texas (Collin County, Doral and Miami-Dade area, Katy ISD, San Antonio, Fort Stockton, Amarillo, and other Texas Workforce Commission locations, McKinney, Tucson), Florida (Escambia County, Hilton Head airport in South Carolina's Beaufort County, Orlando International), California (Hayward), Colorado (Parker), Georgia (Ware State Prison), Ohio (Cincinnati), South Dakota (South Dakota State University), Oregon (Eastern Oregon University), Illinois (Department of Human Services), and Kansas (Olathe). Recent representative opportunities include Escambia County's RFP for vending machine services across 27 county buildings requiring 87 machines with a 36-month contract term plus two optional 12-month renewals (due August 25, 2026); Collin County's IFB 2026-325 for vending services at 18 county locations with an estimated annual value of $142,000 and award based on highest commission percentage (bids due August 6, 2026); Katy ISD's RFP #2521SM for snack vending across 139 machines at 92 campuses with FY2025 sales of $466,000 and evaluation weighted 30% on purchase price and commission, 40% on vendor reputation and quality, and 20% on compliance (proposals due July 2, 2026); the Texas Workforce Commission's RFP 3202600180 for approximately 145 machines across eight state agency locations with estimated values ranging from $5,773 to $451,309 per location and evaluation based on weighted commission rates across three product categories (responses due July 27, 2026); and Orlando International Airport's RFP 26114 for vending machine services with addenda issued June 23, 2026 and proposals due June 30, 2026.
