UNSPSC 52151702: Domestic knives

UNSPSC 52151702 Domestic knives is a Commodity code that covers cutting implements for food service and kitchen operations. State and local governments are soliciting knives and cutlery supplies primarily for school nutrition programs, cafeterias, and institutional kitchens. The recent opportunities show demand for both individual cutlery items—such as knives designated under this code—and bundled kitchen supply packages that include cutlery alongside bowls, pans, serving equipment, and related small wares. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county governments; Columbia County School District in Georgia and Gwinnett County, Georgia have posted recent cutlery-specific solicitations, while Atlanta Public Schools operates a broader commercial kitchen equipment and services operation that includes cutlery within its scope. The mix reflects routine procurement by county and municipal school systems for equipment refresh, nutrition program operations, and facility setup.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Columbia County School District issued RFQ HC-09-28-26A on September 4, 2026 with response due September 28, 2026, requesting cutlery and small kitchen equipment for Lakeside High School, with 190 line items including knives and utensils from preferred vendors such as Dexter Russell, Vollrath, and Winco. Gwinnett County School District posted solicitation B-2617AM on April 29, 2026 for cutlery supplies to support its School Nutrition Program, with proposals due May 13, 2026. Hillsborough County (state not specified in source) posted a miscellaneous kitchen supplies solicitation on August 10, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment posted May 12, 2026 does not align with domestic knives procurement and appears to reflect a tagging mismatch. The code shows active but episodic demand tied to school nutrition operations and equipment procurement cycles, concentrated among Georgia school districts and counties.
