UNSPSC 90101500: Eating and drinking establishments

UNSPSC 90101500 Eating and drinking establishments, a Class code, encompasses state and local procurement for food service operations, food and beverage concessions, catering, and meal management at public facilities—ranging from school and institutional dining to parks, event venues, and emergency food services. Recent solicitations show state and local governments sourcing food service operators for schools, jails, colleges, convention centers, beaches, golf courses, food banks, and municipal events, with vendors either operating kitchens and serving meals directly or managing the supply chain and staffing for food service programs.

The issuing bodies using this code include school districts (Klein ISD, DuBois Integrity Academy, Savannah Classical Academy, Gateway Early College High School, Phoenix College Preparatory Academy, Marion County Schools), counties (Kenosha County, Beaufort County, Harris County, Williamson County, Collier County, Whitfield County, Summit County, Broward County), cities and municipalities (New London, Groton, St. George, Tampa, Yarmouth, Cocoa), state colleges and universities (Dalton State College, Florida Atlantic University), state agencies (Connecticut DEEP, Delaware DHSS, New Mexico DPS), and transit authorities (MARTA). Recent activity appears heaviest in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and the Southwest, with smaller programs in Oregon, Colorado, Wisconsin, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution and grocery market retail operations in Priority Communities (deadline August 6, 2026); Tampa Convention Center's re-bid for food and beverage services serving 350,000+ guests annually (deadline July 27, 2026); Beaufort County's detention center food services RFP requiring three meals daily for 200–255 inmates (deadline June 22, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's food services RFP for four facilities with four optional one-year renewals (deadline April 27, 2026); and Williamson County's food truck scheduling and management services solicitation for county headquarters campus (deadline May 4, 2026). Contracts typically run one to five years with renewal options, and compensation structures vary from fixed per-meal rates and annual fees to revenue-sharing or commission-based arrangements depending on the venue type and operational model.
