UNSPSC 52151636: Domestic food scoops

UNSPSC 52151636 Domestic food scoops is a Commodity code that encompasses portioning and food-service utensils used in school nutrition programs, institutional food service operations, and child care meal delivery. State and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying broad smallwares kits—measuring cups, scoops, spoodles, thermometers, sheet pans, serving pans, knives, and related food preparation and serving tools—almost entirely for school districts and school nutrition programs, not discrete scoops alone. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts of varying sizes (Henry County Schools, Baconton Community Charter School, Colquitt County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Houston County School District, Atlanta Public Schools) and city governments operating child care and meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Hillsborough County and Sourcewell represent broader county and cooperative purchasing entities, though the law enforcement equipment solicitation from Sourcewell is unrelated to this code's scope.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia school districts and Texas jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include Colquitt County School Nutrition's sealed-bid IFB for 295 line items of kitchen smallwares across ten equipment categories for School Year 2026-2027 with bids due June 15, 2026; Baconton Community Charter School's sealed-bid request for smallwares including scoops, measuring cups, and sheet pans with bids due August 3, 2026; Henry County Schools' IFB for cafeteria smallwares delivery to 52 nutrition locations with bids due May 5, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District's competitive bid for approximately 100 line items of food service equipment and supplies, including scoops, thermometers, and food-service trays, with bids due April 28, 2026. All school district solicitations require NSF certification or brand-name equivalents, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with USDA Buy American provisions where applicable. Delivery cycles are typically weekly or daily to multiple school sites, with no minimum order quantities in most cases. These procurements operate under standard IFB or sealed-bid formats with 30- to 60-day contract renewal options and multiple-award structures common to allow supply continuity across district nutrition sites.
