UNSPSC 52151811: Domestic griddles

UNSPSC 52151811 Domestic griddles is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code focus on school nutrition programs, child care food services, and related kitchen operations, but they span a much broader range of small food-service equipment and supplies — food storage containers, thermometers, scoops, sheet pans, serving utensils, cleaning supplies, protective equipment, and specialized food preparation tools — rather than griddles specifically. The City of Edinburg's CACFP Meal Program solicitation (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) seeks beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for approximately 400 children daily. Baconton Community Charter School's smallware bid (ITB due August 3, 2026) includes thermometers, measuring cups, sheet pans, knives, and small equipment such as blenders and can openers. Colquitt County School Nutrition's IFB (due June 15, 2026) lists 295 line items across steam table pans, food preparation tools, cutlery, storage containers, and portioning equipment. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and charter schools in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri, along with county school nutrition departments, reflecting the heavy concentration of activity in K-12 food service operations.

The code shows activity concentrated in the Southeast and South, with Georgia appearing most frequently (Henry County Schools, Colquitt County, Houston County, Baconton Charter, and Atlanta Public Schools) alongside Texas (City of Edinburg) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District and Hillsborough County). Most recent opportunities are IFBs or sealed-bid solicitations issued by school districts seeking kitchen smallwares on an as-needed basis for upcoming school years, typically with contract terms running July 1 through June 30 and multiple renewal options. Atlanta Public Schools' broader RFP (due May 20, 2026) for commercial kitchen equipment repair and preventive maintenance across eight service categories — refrigeration, cooking equipment, food preparation, ventilation, and warewashing — represents a more substantial procurement but does not focus on griddles. No recent opportunities in the source explicitly solicit griddles as a primary commodity. The code appears underutilized or misclassified relative to the actual scope of school nutrition small-equipment procurements occurring in these jurisdictions.
