UNSPSC 73152106: Baking and heating equipment maintenance and repair service

Baking or heating equipment maintenance and repair service

UNSPSC 73152106 Baking and heating equipment maintenance and repair service is a Commodity code covering preventive maintenance, repair, and removal services for food service and institutional heating and cooking equipment. State and local governments procure under this code to maintain cafeteria and institutional kitchen operations, preserve equipment functionality, and comply with food safety regulations. The solicitations show a mix of specialized equipment servicing—rethermalization meal delivery systems at veteran facilities, commercial kitchen equipment across college campuses, and removal of obsolete cooking infrastructure—reflecting the breadth of institutional food operations within the code's scope. Issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois Department of Human Services, California Department of Veterans Affairs), county community college districts (Collin County Community College District), and independent state agencies managing institutional facilities. Work typically encompasses labor, parts, materials, permits, and full coordination with facility operations, often requiring specialized certifications or manufacturer credentials.

Recent activity spans Illinois, California, and Texas. The Illinois Department of Human Services posted a rebid for removal of a 1940s-era baker's oven from the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired in Jacksonville (due April 21, 2026, IFB format), requiring complete disconnection of electrical, gas, and ductwork with code compliance and EPA-standard waste disposal. The California Department of Veterans Affairs issued duplicate IFBs (posted February 3 and March 12, 2026, both due in late February and March respectively) for preventive maintenance and repair services to rethermalization meal delivery systems at the Veterans Home of California–Yountville, with a two-year term, estimated parts costs of $50,000, and 304 total service hours across four preventive visits and repair calls; the March solicitation included a mandatory 5 percent minimum DVBE participation requirement and optional DVBE and small-business preference incentives. Collin County Community College District solicited a three-year RFP (posted February 26, 2026) for preventive and corrective maintenance across five campuses covering refrigeration, cooking, and specialized food preparation equipment, with two annual preventive maintenance services per piece and evaluation weighted 40% qualifications, 30% technical proposal, 30% pricing. Response dates have passed for all four opportunities, indicating active demand in the recent quarter.
