UNSPSC 52151613: Domestic food scrapers

UNSPSC 52151613 Domestic food scrapers is a Commodity code that encompasses kitchen utensils and small hand tools used in food preparation and service—specifically scrapers, pan grabbers, spatulas, spoodles, measuring implements, cutting boards, thermometers, and related items that school nutrition programs, municipal food service operations, and child-care providers purchase to support meal preparation and compliance with food-safety standards. State and local governments procure these items almost exclusively through school district nutrition departments and child-care food programs, typically bundled with broader smallwares and equipment categories in sealed-bid or RFP competitions. The code shows steady activity across school districts in multiple states and smaller municipal food-service operations, with no identifiable repeat mega-buyer dominating the space—rather, demand is distributed across dozens of independent school systems and regional programs each managing their own annual or multi-year smallwares contracts.

Recent solicitations cluster in Georgia and Texas, with activity also visible in Missouri and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP Meal Program RFP (due August 4, 2026) seeking beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial and nonfood supplies for approximately 400 children daily; Baconton Community Charter School (Georgia) sealed-bid smallwares procurement (due August 3, 2026) for thermometers, scoops, sponges, knives, and small equipment for school year 2026–2027; Colquitt County School Nutrition (Georgia) IFB for 295 line items of kitchen smallwares including food preparation tools, storage containers, and cooling equipment (bid due June 15, 2026, with June 18, 2026 award target); and Henry County Schools (Georgia) IFB for cafeteria smallwares to 52 nutrition locations with weekly Monday–Friday delivery, no minimum orders (bid due May 5, 2026). School districts typically require NSF certification, USDA Buy American compliance, firm pricing for the contract term, and weekly or on-demand delivery with FOB delivery to individual school sites, and most award to multiple vendors with primary and secondary designations to ensure supply continuity.
