UNSPSC 52151654: Potato mashers

UNSPSC 52151654 Potato mashers is a Commodity code that captures kitchen smallwares and supplies procured by school districts, county governments, and state agencies for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under and near this code show active demand for kitchen smallwares, food service equipment, paper goods, and related supplies supporting school nutrition programs, county cafeterias, and state-supported facilities. The work spans procurement of individual smallware items such as thermometers, scoops, measuring cups, sheet pans, knives, and mop heads through larger aggregated supplies contracts covering dozens or hundreds of line items sourced by school food authorities and county departments. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition authorities (Baconton Community Charter School, Colquitt County School Nutrition, Bartow County School System, Atlanta Public Schools) alongside county procurement offices (Gwinnett County, Hillsborough County, Fulton County Schools) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). School districts appear as repeat buyers, often issuing annual smallwares bids aligned to school-year cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Ohio and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Colquitt County School Nutrition's IFB for kitchen smallwares spanning 295 line items with bids due June 15, 2026; Baconton Community Charter School's sealed-bid smallwares and small equipment procurement due July 20, 2026; Bartow County School System's IFB 2027-03 for school nutrition paper goods and supplies with bids due September 2, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017726 for kitchen supplies and equipment at the Richmond State Supported Living Center with bids due August 14, 2026.

Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with mutual-agreement renewal options of up to four additional years based on vendor performance. Bid prices must be firm for the initial period and include all packing and transportation; federal compliance (debarment verification for larger bids, Buy American provisions, E-Verify) applies across jurisdictions.
