UNSPSC 52151630: Domestic cheese slicer

UNSPSC 52151630 Domestic cheese slicer (Commodity) covers commercial food service equipment commonly procured by school districts and education agencies as part of broader kitchen equipment and student nutrition programs. State and local governments buy cheese slicers and related large food preparation equipment as line items within comprehensive foodservice solicitations that also encompass ranges, steamers, walk-in coolers, dishwashers, and associated repair and maintenance services. The issuing bodies are primarily large public school districts and their state education departments, which aggregate kitchen equipment procurement across multiple school sites to achieve volume pricing and standardized equipment specifications for student nutrition services.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida school districts. Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida issued ITB 26147-ITB-DST in September 2026 for large food service equipment delivery across multiple school nutrition facilities, with a Notice of Intent to Award dated June 30, 2026 and federal funding through USDA's Food and Nutrition Service requiring Buy American compliance and prevailing wage certifications. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas issued IFB 2026-078 on May 5, 2026 for kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services due May 28, 2026, covering 132 schools and 15 support sites across Bexar County with one-year terms and two renewal options. NISD noted the contract replaces an expiring IFB and is available to other Central Texas Purchasing Alliance member districts at awarded pricing, potentially extending geographic reach into the wider region.
