UNSPSC 52140000: Domestic appliances

UNSPSC 52140000 Domestic appliances, a Family code, covers the supply and delivery of household and commercial appliances—refrigerators, dishwashers, washers, dryers, ovens, ice machines, and microwave units—that state and local governments procure for residential facilities, food service operations, fire departments, correctional institutions, schools, and other public facilities. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies purchasing specific brand-model units with precise dimensional and performance specs, often bundled with delivery, installation, and maintenance services. The mix of buyers reflects the breadth of public-sector appliance demand: county governments (Sarasota County, Hillsborough County, Volusia County, Montgomery County), cities (Tampa Fire Rescue, Fort Worth), universities (Southern Connecticut State University, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), school districts (Parkway School District), and state departments (New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Missouri Department of Corrections). Counties appear as repeat buyers; Hillsborough County in particular posted multiple solicitations across the recent-opportunities block. Procurement structures vary—one-time capital purchases (four Wausau picnic tables for Sarasota County), ongoing as-needed supply contracts (Hillsborough County hand tools at $715,540.41 over five years), lease-service hybrids (Southern Connecticut State University's refrigerator and microwave program), and repair-and-maintenance agreements (Ocean County College kitchen appliance repair services). The code also captures vendor-networking events (Tampa Bay Area Chapter NIGP Reverse Trade Show, Marion County Reverse Trade Show, Collin County Vendor Meet & Greet) where procurement professionals from multiple agencies gather with suppliers.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Sarasota County, Hillsborough County, Tampa, Volusia County, Marion County, Indian River County), followed by scattered activity in Connecticut, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Texas, Massachusetts, and Utah. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITQ-26-00290 for kitchen and laundry appliances to fire stations ($41,183.79, nine units, due June 18, 2026, competitive sealed bids), Sarasota County's 2026QQ785 for four custom Wausau concrete picnic tables (due July 24, 2026, RFQ), City of Tampa's 26-P-00293 for refrigerators and dishwashers on an as-needed basis (due April 30, 2026, RFQ), and Southern Connecticut State University's RFP 26-SCSU-3 for compact refrigerator and microwave rental, delivery, maintenance, and replacement across residential facilities (approximately 933 units, due May 29, 2026, best-value procurement). A second re-bid by Connecticut for Real Art Ways renovation and construction work (due March 18, 2026) was tagged under this code but is unrelated to domestic appliances and appears to be a categorization mismatch. Activity is active and sustained across the first seven months of 2026, with both one-off equipment buys and multi-year service contracts.
