UNSPSC 90101604: Construction or work site catering services

UNSPSC 90101604 Construction or work site catering services, a Commodity code, encompasses vending machine operations, food truck concessions, facility catering for events and conferences, senior meal programs, and restaurant or concession stand operations at parks, airports, recreation centers, state facilities, and educational institutions. State and local governments procure under this code when they need food and beverage services delivered to employees, visitors, program participants, or the public at specific venues—from small micro-purchases for single events to multi-year, multi-location concession agreements generating revenue for the issuing body. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies include city and county procurement departments (Philadelphia, Orange County, Pinellas County), state agencies (Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Texas Workforce Commission, Wisconsin DNR, Colorado Department of Human Services), school districts (Northside ISD, Katy ISD, Dallas ISD, Boulder County), municipal recreation and parks departments (City of Olathe, City of Conyers), transit and airport authorities (McKinney Airport, Orlando International Airport), universities (University of Georgia, Kennesaw State University, Umpqua Community College), and special-purpose districts (Pasco County Senior Services). The code sees steady activity across multiple states with no concentration in a single region—Texas, Florida, Colorado, Illinois, Ohio, Oregon, Georgia, California, and others all posted opportunities in the recent window.
