UNSPSC 52151505: Domestic disposable stirrers

UNSPSC 52151505 Domestic disposable stirrers is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader range of food service disposables than its nominal scope—state and local governments purchasing under this code are actually buying complete food service supply packages including plates, bowls, cups, lids, napkins, trays, utensils, gloves, and related items for school cafeterias, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and institutional food programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state health and human services agencies, with occasional county facilities and municipal departments; Texas Health and Human Services Commission and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Florida appear as repeat buyers in the recent opportunities. State and local procurement offices are soliciting these supplies through IFBs and RFPs in volumes ranging from $50,000 to $750,000 annually per facility or district, with contract terms typically running one school or fiscal year with renewal options.

Recent activity is concentrated in the school nutrition space across the South and Southwest. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017380 in June 2026 for picnic pack supplies (disposable utensils, napkins, toothpicks) for Lubbock State Supported Living Center, due June 22, 2026, with an estimated value up to $50,000. The City of New Haven Board of Education solicited bids in June 2026 for paper goods and chemicals (cups, bowls, plates, containers, wraps, sanitizers) to support meals programs serving 17,500 to 19,000 meals daily across 224 program days, with a 25% MBE participation goal and Addendum #1 posted June 10. Northside Independent School District in Texas issued RFP 2026-046 in March 2026 for child nutrition supplies with proposals due April 2, requiring HACCP certification and delivery to two warehouses during specified windows. Douglas County School District in Georgia issued RFP 26-006 in February 2026 for paper and chemical supplies ($750,000 annually) with proposals due March 4. The Georgia Educational Cooperative issued a solicitation in May 2026 for disposables and chemicals serving 14 independent school districts across Georgia, with bids due June 11 and weekly deliveries required at 98% on-time performance. No recent opportunities support activity in this code outside the South, Southwest, and Midwest school nutrition and state facility supply chains.
