UNSPSC 52151651: Domestic measuring spoons

UNSPSC 52151651 Domestic measuring spoons is a Commodity code covering small kitchen measuring and portioning tools purchased by state and local governments for food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring measuring spoons alongside broader kitchen smallwares — spoodles, scoops, thermometers, serving utensils, pans, and food storage containers — typically as part of school nutrition programs, child care food programs, and county or municipal food service supply chains. The code sits within a larger purchasing pattern of consumable and durable food service equipment where measuring spoons are ordered in batches of 12 to 96 units per item alongside complementary kitchen tools. Issuing bodies include school districts (elementary through high school nutrition departments), county school systems, municipal child care programs, and county government purchasing offices; school nutrition programs appear as the dominant buyer type, with multiple Georgia school districts (Henry County Schools, Colquitt County Schools, Houston County School District) and Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI) posting competitive bids for smallwares packages that bundle measuring spoons with other kitchen items.

Activity is geographically dispersed across the Southeast and Midwest. Recent solicitations come from Georgia (Henry County Schools, Colquitt County Schools, Houston County School District, Baconton Community Charter School), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Texas (City of Edinburg). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026017 for CACFP Meal Program 2025-2026 supplies (due August 4, 2026) that includes nonfood items such as utensils and kitchen tools as part of five supply categories serving approximately 400 children daily; Colquitt County Schools issued IFB SY26-27 for 295 line items of kitchen smallwares (due June 15, 2026) with deliveries across multiple school sites; Rockwood R-VI School District requested sealed bids for approximately 100 line items of small equipment and supplies (due April 28, 2026) including thermometers, dishers, cutting boards, and protective equipment with NSF certification preferred; and Henry County Schools issued IFB 2026-100100-0318 for cafeteria smallwares (due May 5, 2026) with weekly delivery to 52 school nutrition locations. Most contracts award to multiple vendors and run one year with annual renewal options. Set-asides and disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions do not appear in recent opportunities, though some districts express preference for domestic manufactured goods under USDA Buy American provisions and local-vendor preferences where state law permits.
