UNSPSC 52151659: Manual meat tenderizer

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

UNSPSC 52151659 Manual meat tenderizer (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity. State and local governments buying under this code primarily purchase kitchen smallwares and equipment through school nutrition programs and food-service operations, though the narrow product specification of a manual meat tenderizer itself appears rarely as a standalone line item. Recent solicitations capture broader kitchen supply categories—Colquitt County School Nutrition requested 295 smallwares line items including food preparation tools and cutlery, Baconton Community Charter School bid kitchen smallware ranging from thermometers to sheet pans, and Bartow County School System solicited paper goods and serving trays for school nutrition operations. These school-district food-service procurements represent the core issuing-body mix under the code's broader family, alongside occasional county kitchen-supply solicitations. The code does not support activity from state departments or transit authorities.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, with Colquitt County, Bartow County, and Baconton Community Charter School all posting sealed-bid solicitations (IFB notices) in May and June 2026 for school-year 2026-2027 smallwares and supplies. Gwinnett County posted a smallwares catalog discount solicitation (PE77021NONST2027000000217) due October 16, 2026, through the Bonfire procurement portal. Hillsborough County (Florida) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted kitchen-supply solicitations in August 2026. School nutrition programs dominate the application; contract terms typically run through the end of the school year (June or August) with mutual-agreement extension options for three to six months and renewal terms of up to four additional years based on performance. Bid prices must be firm for the initial term, with subsequent adjustments limited to documented market conditions or minimum-wage changes. Most school districts require responses on pricing sheets with line-item quantities, 24/7 recall accessibility for food-safety compliance, and debarment verification for contracts exceeding $25,000.
