UNSPSC 52151630 Domestic cheese slicer is a Commodity code that encompasses kitchen food-preparation equipment and related supplies purchased by school districts and other state and local institutions.

Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include large independent school districts managing multi-campus foodservice operations.
