UNSPSC 52151659: Manual meat tenderizer

Kitchen tool, with prongs or picks, used to manually tenderize meat.

UNSPSC 52151659 Manual meat tenderizer is a Commodity code for a single food service tool with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code shows no recent solicitations specifically calling for manual meat tenderizers as a named line item. The most recent state and local opportunities tagging this code or adjacent food service equipment codes are school nutrition procurement for smallwares, kitchen supplies, and food service equipment—such as Colquitt County School Nutrition's June 2026 sealed-bid for kitchen smallwares (IFB SY26-27, due June 15, 2026), Baconton Community Charter School's August 2026 bid for kitchen smallware and small equipment (IFB PE55407NONST2027000000012, due August 3, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 competitive bid for small equipment (due April 28, 2026). These procurements bundle dozens of items—cutting boards, dishers, thermometers, storage containers, protective equipment, and cleaning supplies—but none explicitly list manual meat tenderizers in their published specifications. The issuing bodies are school districts (Colquitt County, Baconton, Rockwood, Henry County, Houston County), with secondary activity from city nutrition programs (Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal service, RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) and county purchasing offices (Hillsborough County miscellaneous kitchen supplies, RFP 26P00386, due July 8, 2026).

Activity clusters in Georgia and across the Southeast (Colquitt County, Baconton, Henry County, Houston County), with Texas and Missouri representation. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with solicitations typically structured as sealed IFBs or ITBs for smallwares delivery on an as-needed basis to multiple school sites, monthly or as-needed. Prices are firm for the contract period and include transportation; most awards run July through June with one-year renewal options. Manual meat tenderizers do not appear as stand-alone procurement targets; when food prep tools are solicited, they are grouped in larger smallwares bundles where evaluation prioritizes cost, brand equivalency to NSF or USDA specifications, and delivery frequency (typically Monday–Friday before noon). The code's narrow commodity scope and the observable trend toward bundled smallwares purchasing suggest limited standalone procurement opportunity under this specific UNSPSC designation.
