UNSPSC 52151811: Domestic griddles

UNSPSC 52151811 Domestic griddles (Commodity) covers kitchen smallwares and food service equipment that state and local governments purchase for school nutrition programs, institutional kitchens, and food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and county agencies buying griddles, sheet pans, mixing equipment, food-preparation tools, thermometers, storage containers, and related smallware items as part of broader kitchen equipment and supplies contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition authorities, with county governments and state-supported living centers also active. Gwinnett County posted a smallwares catalog discount contract (RFP, due October 16, 2026), and Fulton County Schools solicited kitchen equipment service and repairs (due September 24, 2026); Baconton Community Charter School and Colquitt County School Nutrition both posted sealed-bid smallwares contracts in mid-2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) procurement division requested bids on kitchen supplies and equipment for the Richmond State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017726 (due August 14, 2026), including KitchenAid stand mixers, commercial thermometers, stainless steel cookware, and utensil dispensers. Atlanta Public Schools issued an RFP for commercial kitchen equipment repair, preventive maintenance, installation, and related services across eight equipment categories (due May 20, 2026). Bartow County School System solicited paper goods and supplies for school nutrition operations under IFB 2027-03 (due September 2, 2026), and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for CACFP meal program supplies including food and nonfood items under RFP 2026-017 (due August 11, 2026).

Recent opportunities concentrate in Georgia and Texas, with scattered activity in Minnesota (through Sourcewell cooperative purchasing), Ohio, and Florida. School nutrition programs dominate the buyer base, particularly for smallwares and paper goods contracts running across school years (typically July through June or September through August). Most contracts are solicited as sealed-bid IFBs or RFPs with responses due in 30 to 60 days; contract terms typically run one year with renewal options of up to four additional years based on vendor performance. Pricing is structured as firm and fixed for the initial term, with allowances for Consumer Price Index adjustments in subsequent years. Delivery requirements are site-specific to individual schools or warehouses, typically with daily or weekly schedules. Federal compliance requirements (debarment verification, Buy American for food products where applicable, equal employment opportunity) apply to most contracts. School districts generally reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors and to accept or reject any or all bids.
