UNSPSC 52151609: Vegetable peeler

UNSPSC 52151609 Vegetable peeler, a Commodity code, encompasses kitchen hand tools and small utensils that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts for school nutrition programs, child care meal services, and institutional cafeterias. The code appears in solicitations primarily as a line item within larger smallwares and equipment buys rather than as a standalone procurement; recent opportunities show vegetable peelers bundled with cutting boards, knives, thermometers, scoops, sheet pans, and related food preparation tools. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and charter schools procuring on an as-needed or annual basis to support child nutrition services across multiple cafeteria locations, with occasional municipal and county nutrition programs entering the market. School districts dominate the activity, including large systems such as Atlanta Public Schools, Colquitt County Schools, Henry County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Houston County School District, and Baconton Community Charter School, all of which treat smallwares as recurring line items within their annual food service equipment and supply cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary representation from Missouri and Florida. Representative opportunities include Colquitt County School Nutrition seeking sealed bids for 295 smallwares line items for School Year 2026-2027 (IFB due June 15, 2026), Henry County Schools issuing an IFB for cafeteria smallwares to 52 School Nutrition locations on an as-needed basis (IFB due May 5, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services soliciting competitive bids for approximately 100 small equipment line items for the 2026-2027 school year (bids due April 28, 2026 via NutriKids electronic bidding), and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requesting proposals for CACFP meal program supplies including food and nonfood items (RFP due August 4, 2026). All school nutrition procurements specify NSF certification, Buy American provisions where USDA funding applies, firm pricing for the contract period, and multiple-award structures with primary and secondary vendors designated for supply continuity. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options of four to six additional years contingent on vendor performance. Weekly or daily deliveries to school sites are standard, with no minimum order requirements in many cases.
