UNSPSC 52152000: Domestic dishes and servingware and storage containers

UNSPSC 52152000 Domestic dishes and servingware and storage containers is a Class code that encompasses kitchen and dining equipment sold to state and local agencies for operational use and resale. State and local governments procure under this code for institutional dining, employee facilities, and retail canteen operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, cooperative purchasing organizations such as Sourcewell, and county governments. The solicitations demonstrate dual-track procurement: agencies buy these items for direct operational use (institutional dining, staff facilities) and for resale through canteen operations in correctional facilities and other institutional settings.

The Missouri Department of Corrections and Sourcewell represent recent issuing bodies. The Missouri procurement, an IFB posted January 27, 2026 with a due date of February 24, 2026, sought household items for canteen resale across nineteen correctional institutions—insulated coolers, pitchers with lids, coffee cups, insulated cups with lids, and plastic bowls with lids, among others, with an estimated annual sales value of $57,414. The Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with proposals due June 16, 2026, establishes a cooperative purchasing agreement for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Washington state and other jurisdictions, though the specific role of domestic dishware within that broader law enforcement equipment solicitation is unclear from available documentation. Geographic activity centers on the Midwest and Pacific Northwest, with Missouri and Washington state represented in recent postings. The Missouri contract applies a 10 percent preference for American-made products and bonus points for Organizations for the Blind or Sheltered Workshops participation, reflecting state-level social enterprise preferences in canteen procurement.
