UNSPSC 52151616: Domestic kitchen spatulas

UNSPSC 52151616 Domestic kitchen spatulas is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent procurement activity under state and local solicitations. The code's nominal scope—individual utensils like spatulas—does not align with what the identified recent opportunities are actually buying. The nine opportunities in the recent-activity block cover kitchen smallwares, small equipment, and food service supplies across a much broader range of items (steam table pans, measuring cups, cutting boards, serving utensils, thermometers, protective equipment, and cleaning supplies), but spatulas are rarely named as discrete line items. Most opportunities bundle spatulas into larger smallwares packages or do not itemize individual utensil types.

Issuing bodies pursuing kitchen smallwares and food service supplies include school districts (Baconton Community Charter School in Georgia, Colquitt County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Houston County School District in Georgia), cities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and county purchasing offices (Hillsborough County, Florida). School nutrition programs account for the majority of recent activity. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia (Henry County Schools, Colquitt County School Nutrition, Houston County School District, Baconton Community Charter School) and Texas (City of Edinburg), with additional activity in Florida, Missouri, and nationally through the Sourcewell cooperative. Representative recent opportunities include the Colquitt County School Nutrition IFB for kitchen smallwares (295 line items across ten equipment categories, bids due June 15, 2026), the Baconton Community Charter School sealed-bid procurement for kitchen smallware and small equipment (bids due July 20, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's competitive bid for approximately 100 line items of small equipment and supplies (bids due April 28, 2026). If spatulas are a line item within larger smallwares contracts, engagement typically occurs at the category level rather than the individual commodity code level.
