UNSPSC 85151504: Food preparation counseling or control services

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a food preparation counseling or control service

UNSPSC 85151504 Food preparation counseling or control services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure food service operations, meal preparation and delivery, catering, and related nutritional compliance services across diverse facility types and emergency contexts. Recent opportunities show governments purchasing comprehensive food service management for schools, detention centers, parks, convention centers, performing arts venues, emergency operations, and community health facilities—ranging from fixed-meal-price school nutrition contracts to exclusive concession operations at large public venues to emergency standby catering capacity mobilized on short notice.

State governments, counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities all solicit under this code. The activity spans Florida (DeBary, Cocoa, Bartow, Collier County, Broward County, Hillsborough County), Georgia (Atlanta via Invest Atlanta, DuBois Integrity Academy, Savannah Classical Academy), Colorado (Boulder County), South Carolina (Beaufort County), Texas (Richardson, San Antonio, Williamson County), Wisconsin (Dane County), Mississippi (State Veterans Affairs), Missouri (Parkway School District), and Ohio (Cincinnati). Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (responses due March 6, 2025), the City of Bartow's ITB for 2026-2027 emergency standby catering (responses due August 5, 2026), Beaufort County's RFP for detention center food services (responses due June 22, 2026), Dane County's RFP for exclusive food and beverage operations at the Alliant Energy Center (responses due October 22, 2026), and DuBois Integrity Academy's RFP for food service management serving 1,200+ K-8 students (responses due June 15, 2026). School nutrition management contracts are frequent and structured around USDA meal program compliance and fixed or cost-reimbursable pricing. Large public-facility operations emphasize concession revenue models with commissions tied to gross receipts. Emergency catering solicitations typically impose rapid mobilization requirements (24-hour notice, sustained-wind deployment capability) and multi-day meal volume commitments.
