UNSPSC 52151502: Domestic disposable dishes

UNSPSC 52151502 Domestic disposable dishes (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers single-use food service tableware — plates, bowls, cups, utensils, and related items typically procured for cafeterias, break rooms, event catering, and facility operations. State and local governments purchase these goods through standard supply contracts managed by procurement offices, schools, transit authorities, and facility management departments. The issuing bodies span counties, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing organizations.

The most recent opportunity posted under this code — Sourcewell RFP #061626 (response deadline June 16, 2026) — is tagged as law enforcement equipment procurement benefiting participating entities in Washington state and beyond, not disposable dishes. This represents a tagging mismatch; the opportunity does not reflect the commodity's actual scope. No recent state or local RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs for disposable dishes appear in the available record. Disposable dish procurement typically flows through standing vendor agreements, cooperative purchasing catalogs (such as those managed by Sourcewell or regional purchasing consortia), or low-dollar spot buys rather than formal solicitations, which may explain the sparse posting activity under this specific code.
