UNSPSC 52151627: Domestic garlic press

UNSPSC 52151627 Domestic garlic press is a Commodity code that spans kitchen hand tools and small utensils procured by state and local governments for food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal direct activity for garlic presses specifically. Instead, the available opportunities reveal that jurisdictions are buying kitchen smallwares and supplies broadly—including food preparation tools, utensils, storage containers, and related food-service equipment—primarily through school nutrition programs, county food services, and state-supported facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition authorities (Bartow County School System, Colquitt County School Nutrition, Baconton Community Charter School, Atlanta Public Schools, Fulton County Schools), county governments (Gwinnett County, Hillsborough County), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). These buyers solicit kitchen supplies and smallwares regularly through sealed-bid IFBs and RFPs, typically on annual or multi-year cycles tied to school fiscal years or operational needs.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia (Bartow County, Colquitt County, Baconton, Atlanta, Gwinnett County, Fulton County), Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP program, Richmond State Supported Living Center), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Ohio, with sporadic national multistate cooperative purchasing activity. Representative recent solicitations include Colquitt County School Nutrition's IFB SY26-27 for kitchen smallwares (295 line items, bids due June 15, 2026), Bartow County School System's IFB 2027-03 for paper goods and supplies serving school nutrition operations (bids due September 2, 2026, opening September 3), Baconton Community Charter School's sealed-bid procurement for smallware and small equipment including thermometers, scoops, measuring cups, sheet pans, and small equipment like blenders and can openers (bids due July 20, 2026), Atlanta Public Schools' RFP for commercial kitchen equipment repair and maintenance services (proposals due May 20, 2026), and Gwinnett County's smallwares catalog discount contract B-2714AM (responses due October 16, 2026). The code shows routine demand for kitchen tools and supplies at school and institutional food service operations but does not isolate garlic presses as a standalone procurement driver.
