UNSPSC 52151505: Domestic disposable stirrers

UNSPSC 52151505 Domestic disposable stirrers (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity predominantly as one line item within much broader food service consumables and supplies solicitations rather than as a standalone product. The code represents a narrow commodity — disposable stirring implements — but recent state and local opportunities tag this code in the context of comprehensive foodservice acquisitions spanning prepared foods, beverages, paper goods, containers, napkins, straws, and related supplies for institutional food operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or related to this code include state health and human services agencies managing state supported living centers and correctional facilities, county governments operating recreation facilities and detention centers, school districts purchasing for nutrition programs, and independent school districts acquiring high-volume groceries and consumable supplies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for canteen and food service consumables at facilities including Lufkin State Supported Living Center, Mexia State Supported Living Center, and Denton State Supported Living Center; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania has posted multiple bids for correctional facility supplies including paper products; and multiple school districts and school nutrition cooperatives in Georgia and Florida have solicited paper goods and disposables as part of larger food service procurement packages.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Georgia based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026; bids due October 23, 2026) for consumables foods and food service supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, encompassing 22 line items including straws, napkins, and containers on an F.O.B. Destination basis; Polk County Schools issuing ITB 002RW0727 for school nutrition consumable supplies including straws, napkins, and paper products with an estimated total bid value of $1.465 million (bids due July 21, 2026, now closed); and the Georgia Educational Cooperative soliciting food service disposable and chemical products serving 14 independent school districts across Georgia (RFS PE55396, bids due June 11, 2026). The New Jersey Department of Treasury also solicited disposable food service items under Bid 26DPP01297 (quotes due August 25, 2026), covering paper and plastic products including cups, bowls, utensils, and foil. Disposable stirrers as a discrete line item do not appear prominently in summary-level descriptions, and opportunities typically bundle stirring implements with broader paper goods, utensil, and consumables categories under larger frame agreements or consolidated buys.
