UNSPSC 52151612: Domestic kitchen wire whips

UNSPSC 52151612 Domestic kitchen wire whips is a Commodity code that describes kitchen smallwares and food-service utensils, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little actual demand for wire whips themselves. Instead, the code tags a much broader category of school nutrition and institutional food-service procurement — kitchen smallwares including food storage containers, utensils, thermometers, scoops, measuring cups, sheet pans, serving pans, knives, aprons, pastry brushes, pan grabbers, and stainless steel sponges, along with small equipment such as blenders, can openers, sheet pan racks, and rolling utility carts. The issuing bodies are school districts (Baconton Community Charter School in Georgia, Colquitt County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI Schools in Missouri, Henry County Schools in Georgia, and Houston County Schools in Georgia) and one charter school operator (the City of Edinburg, Texas, supporting a Child and Adult Care Food Program). These jurisdictions solicit under this code to equip school kitchens and cafeterias serving child nutrition programs, typically with requirements for NSF certification, brand-name or U.S.-manufactured products to comply with USDA Buy American provisions, and firm pricing across the contract term.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia (Baconton, Colquitt County, Henry County, and Houston County school districts) and extends to Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI Schools). Recent solicitations include Colquitt County School Nutrition's IFB for 295 line items of kitchen smallwares (SY26-27, due June 15, 2026), Baconton Community Charter School's sealed-bid procurement for smallware and small equipment (PE55407NONST2027000000012, due August 3, 2026), Henry County Schools' IFB for cafeteria smallwares across 52 nutrition locations with as-needed weekly delivery (PE67510NONST2026000000031, due May 5, 2026), the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal program food and nonfood items including utensils and food storage (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's competitive bid for small equipment covering approximately 100 line items (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESSMALLEQUIPMENT20262027, due April 28, 2026). Most contracts run for the school year with renewal options, require multiple awards to ensure supply continuity, and demand compliance with federal food-service regulations and insurance requirements.
