UNSPSC 52151500: Domestic disposable kitchenware

UNSPSC 52151500 Domestic disposable kitchenware is a Class code that encompasses single-use food service supplies—napkins, trays, containers, cups, lids, utensils, straws, foil, and related items—that state and local governments procure for cafeterias, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and public recreation venues. Recent solicitations show school districts and state health and human services agencies as the primary buyers, with particular volume from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) state-supported living centers, Florida school districts, and Georgia cooperative school nutrition purchasing groups. State agencies and local corrections departments use the code for both food service operations (canteen supplies, meal programs) and supplemental consumables purchased on annual or multi-year contracts. Issuing bodies span state departments of health and human services, independent school districts, county boards of education, county commissioners' offices, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives serving multiple districts; repeat solicitation activity centers on Texas HHSC (multiple state-supported living centers), Florida school districts (Polk County Board, Candler County), and Georgia educational cooperatives.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, consumable foods and food service supplies due October 23, 2026), Polk County Board of Education in Florida soliciting school nutrition consumable supplies under ITB 002RW0727 with estimated value $1.465 million (deadline July 21, 2026, now closed), the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury soliciting disposable food service items under Bid Solicitation 26DPP01297 (quotes due August 25, 2026), and the Georgia Educational Cooperative requesting food service disposable and chemical products for 14 school districts with bids due June 11, 2026. Contracts typically run one to three years, require firm fixed pricing, mandate F.O.B. Destination delivery, and incorporate standard food-safety, E-Verify, debarment, and civil-rights compliance certifications. Set-asides and local preferences appear in school nutrition and public agency procurements; SBE/MBE participation and local-vendor preferences are explicitly weighted in Florida and Texas municipal solicitations.
