UNSPSC 90101901: Coffee machine and grinder rental and maintenance service

Rental and maintenance of expresso coffee machines and coffee grinders, for use in office or commercial environments

UNSPSC 90101901 Coffee machine and grinder rental and maintenance service is a Commodity code that encompasses equipment rental, servicing, and operational management of beverage and food vending systems across state and local facilities. Recent opportunities under this code reflect a broader scope than the nominal title suggests: state and local buyers are procuring comprehensive vending machine programs—including coffee and hot beverage equipment alongside snack, cold beverage, and food machines—as turnkey operations with stocking, maintenance, and revenue-sharing arrangements. The mix of issuing bodies includes county executive offices, independent school districts, and municipal governments. County of Orange, California, for example, is soliciting a five-year vending machine contract covering approximately 40 locations across administrative offices, health agencies, law enforcement facilities, libraries, and public works sites under a revenue-sharing model where the contractor retains equipment ownership while remitting a tiered commission (20–25% depending on sales volume) to the county. Service scope typically requires seven-day-per-week availability with same-day emergency response and modern, ADA-compliant equipment accepting electronic payment alongside cash. Contractor personnel at sensitive facilities such as youth detention centers and sheriff's offices must clear background screening.

Geographic activity is concentrated in California and Texas. The representative recent opportunity is County of Orange, California's IFB-017-3016702-JC (Vending Machines and Services), posted July 8, 2026, with a response deadline of July 8, 2026 at 2:00 PM, covering a five-year term from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031. The solicitation includes a 5% preference for Orange County Local Small Business (OCLSB) certified bidders and an 8% preference for those certified as both OCLSB and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE). Contractor obligations include maintaining a ten-dollar refund fund at each location, providing monthly sales reporting, and accepting performance and labor and material payment bonds. Pricing must remain firm for the entire contract duration with no profit increases permitted; any decreases automatically extend to the county. This code sees moderate recent activity with concrete, actively solicited opportunities featuring defined service territories, compliance screening requirements, and performance metrics tied to operational metrics and payment schedules.
