UNSPSC 90100000: Restaurants and catering

UNSPSC 90100000 Restaurants and catering is a Family code under which state and local governments solicit food service operations spanning school cafeterias, detention facility meal service, concession stands, special-event catering, and park or facility-based food and beverage vendors. Recent opportunities show school districts and county agencies purchasing comprehensive dining management, detention center meal supply, stadium and park concessions, and event catering—both ongoing operations and seasonal activations. Work ranges from full-kitchen management with staffing and menu control to supply-only arrangements where the public agency retains food preparation labor.

The code draws solicitations from school districts (San Antonio ISD, Katy ISD, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, Northside ISD, Meliora School, Harlandale ISD, Parkway School District in Missouri, Port Huron Area School District, and Columbia County School District in Georgia), county corrections and detention agencies (Beaufort County South Carolina, Greenville County South Carolina), county social services and community colleges (Colorado Northwestern Community College, Boulder County Head Start, Kenosha County Wisconsin), cities and municipalities (Boston, New London Connecticut, Bristol Connecticut, City of Huntsville Texas, Temple Texas), transit and airport authorities (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority), state parks departments (Connecticut DEEP Lake Waramaug, Maryland DNR Sandy Point), universities (University of Georgia, Delaware Technical and Community College), and special districts (San Mateo County Parks). San Antonio Independent School District appears frequently with continuous open solicitations for student activities and fundraising vendors. Geographic activity spans Texas (San Antonio, Katy, Cypress-Fairbanks, Northside, Huntsville, Temple), Colorado (Boulder, Rangely), South Carolina (Beaufort, Greenville), Connecticut (New London, Bristol, Kent), Massachusetts (Boston, Somerville), Delaware, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Utah, Idaho, and Florida, with Texas and Colorado showing particular concentration of recent opportunities.

Seasonal and event-based work appears in San Mateo County Parks' food truck vendor solicitation for Memorial Park (proposals due June 5, 2026, for July–September operations with no fees to vendors, who retain all sales revenue), the City of New London's Boardwalk Galley and Creamery RFP (proposals due May 7, 2026, serving 250,000 annual visitors), and the Connecticut DEEP Lake Waramaug concession RFP (proposals due May 22, 2026, for food, beverage, and campground store operations at a reopening venue).

Several school districts and community colleges issued multiple overlapping or duplicate solicitations for food service management during April–June 2026, suggesting reissues to expand vendor pools or correct prior solicitations.
