UNSPSC 53131507: Toothpicks

UNSPSC 53131507 Toothpicks is a Commodity code that sees virtually no dedicated procurement activity in state and local government. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting toothpicks as a standalone item or primary deliverable. Two sources—the Tattnall County Board of Education food-service solicitation and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission canteen procurement—reference food products broadly but do not isolate toothpicks as a line item, category, or specification. The remaining opportunities document grocery supply, produce, meals, and food-service equipment, none of which name toothpicks as a distinct scope element. State and local food-service operations (school nutrition programs, institutional canteens, emergency meal services) may include toothpicks in miscellaneous supply categories or hospitality bundles, but procurement offices do not issue separate RFPs, IFBs, or ITBs for this commodity.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Georgia school districts (Tattnall County, Coffee County, Hancock County, Lamar County, Houston County, Douglas County, Polk County, and Habersham County) and isolated transactions in Texas (Klein Independent School District, Texas HHS) and Michigan (Department of Corrections commissary services). The geographic spread reflects general state and local food-service procurement, not toothpick-specific demand. No representative recent opportunities exist for this Commodity code; vendors pursuing state and local contracts should treat toothpicks as an incidental line item within broader food-supply, grocery, or institutional-supply frameworks rather than as a standalone procurement category worthy of dedicated business development effort.
