UNSPSC 52151705: Spoon rests

UNSPSC 52151705 Spoon rests, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct solicitation under its narrow name, but state and local governments purchase smallware and food-service equipment components — including serving implements, utensils, and kitchen accessories — through school nutrition programs, facilities operations, and food-service meal contracts. Recent opportunities tag kitchen smallware aggregately under broader categories: school nutrition smallwares catalogs bundling spoons, scoops, measuring tools, and related items; child-care meal programs sourcing paper goods, utensils, and serving supplies; and state health and human services facilities procuring kitchen supplies and equipment line-item by line-item. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Colquitt County, Bartow County, Baconton Community Charter School in Georgia; school systems serving child-care programs in Texas and Florida) and state agencies (Texas HHSC), with county governments (Gwinnett County, Hillsborough County, Fulton County Schools) sourcing through smallwares catalogs and miscellaneous kitchen-supply contracts. School Food Authorities represent the largest and most repeat buyer class under this family of codes.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Colquitt County School Nutrition posted IFB SY26-27 in May 2026 for 295 line-item kitchen smallwares with bids due June 15, 2026, and Bartow County School System issued IFB 2027-03 in August 2026 for school nutrition paper goods and supplies with bids due September 2, 2026. Baconton Community Charter School solicited sealed bids for kitchen smallware and small equipment in June 2026 with bids due July 20, 2026. Atlanta Public Schools issued RFP PE76110NONST2026000000137 in April 2026 for commercial kitchen equipment repairs and preventive maintenance across eight service categories, with proposals due May 20, 2026. Gwinnett County posted a smallwares catalog discount contract (B-2714AM) in October 2026 with responses due October 16, 2026, through its Bonfire portal. Texas HHSC solicited bids on kitchen supplies and equipment for Richmond State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017726 with bids due August 14, 2026, estimating historical annual spend between $25,000 and $50,000. The code shows activity primarily in school nutrition contexts where spoon rests and related smallware are purchased as components of larger kitchen-equipment and supplies catalogs rather than as standalone line items.
