UNSPSC 52151709: Flatware set

The commodity includes utensils (flatware) used for eating a meal with different dishes.

UNSPSC 52151709 Flatware set is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dining service smallwares, including place settings, utensil assortments, and related table service items used in institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through convention centers, public facilities, and venue operators that require contracted supply relationships for high-volume, recurring dining service needs. The issuing bodies are typically special-purpose districts and county-level administrative units managing large public venues or institutional food service programs. Orange County, Florida's Convention Center represents the dominant recent buyer, soliciting comprehensive flatware and smallwares procurement under a multi-year contract structure.

Recent activity shows limited geographic concentration. Orange County, Florida posted an IFB (Y26-165) on July 27, 2026, seeking food and beverage smallwares including flatware from eleven authorized manufacturers—American Metalcraft, Bon Chef, Cal-Mil, Carlisle, Eastern Tabletop, Front of the House, Libbey, Service Ideas, Snap Drape, Spring USA, and Steelite International—with a sealed-bid response due April 30, 2026, and an estimated five-year contract value of $2,145,000 across manufacturers plus $10,000 for specialized shipping. The contract offers a fixed percentage discount off current manufacturer's suggested retail price lists held constant over the five-year term, with Service Disabled Veteran Business enterprises eligible for an 8% preference depending on total contract value. Electronic submission through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform is mandatory; respondents must provide three client references for similar term-contract work completed within the last ten years and maintain $1,000,000 in commercial general liability and auto liability coverage. The source records no other recent state or local opportunities explicitly focused on flatware or dining service smallwares procurement at the Commodity level.
