UNSPSC 52151636: Domestic food scoops

UNSPSC 52151636 Domestic food scoops is a Commodity code encompassing kitchen smallware and food-service utensils—primarily scoops, spoodles, measuring equipment, and related portioning tools—used in school nutrition programs, institutional cafeterias, and public-sector food-service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under and adjacent to this code show a strong focus on school nutrition procurement, with school districts and school food authorities (SFAs) issuing the majority of bids for bundled smallware packages that include scoops alongside thermometers, serving pans, cutlery, and storage containers. Issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia school districts and charter schools—Bartow County School System, Colquitt County School Nutrition, Baconton Community Charter School—along with county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Hillsborough County), a Texas state agency (HHSC for Richmond State Supported Living Center), and Fulton County Schools. The scope of work clusters around school nutrition program supply chains: individual smallware line-item bids, catalog-discount agreements for bundled smallware and disposables, and kitchen equipment repair and maintenance services that support food-preparation workflows.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Ohio and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Colquitt County School Nutrition's sealed-bid RFQ for 295 line items of kitchen smallwares (IFB SY26-27, bids due June 15, 2026), Baconton Community Charter School's smallware and small-equipment bid requiring specific brands including thermometers and scoops (bids due July 20, 2026, contract commencing August 1, 2026), Bartow County School System's paper goods and supplies IFB for school nutrition operations (IFB 2027-03, bids due September 2, 2026, running October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027), and Gwinnett County's smallwares catalog-discount solicitation (B-2714AM, responses due October 16, 2026). Contract terms typically run one school year or fiscal year with mutual-agreement extension and renewal options. Most school-district solicitations require firm, fixed pricing for the initial term, compliance with federal Buy American and debarment provisions, HACCP food-safety certification, and delivery to multiple school sites or designated warehouses. Pricing scales range from under $5,000 to historical spending guidance in the $25,000–$50,000 band for similar goods, with payment due within 30 days of receipt and acceptance.
