UNSPSC 52141500: Domestic kitchen appliances

UNSPSC 52141500 Domestic kitchen appliances is a Class code encompassing the purchase, lease, and installation of commercial and residential kitchen equipment that state and local governments procure for facilities operations, residential housing, food service, and institutional dining. State and local buyers under this code are acquiring specific appliance models—refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, hot food tables, and specialized cooking equipment—along with delivery, installation, training, and in some cases full-service lease and maintenance arrangements. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies spanning state departments (Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs, California Department of General Services), county governments (Orange County Sheriff-Coroner, Escambia County, Hillsborough County), cities (Philadelphia), universities (Southern Connecticut State University, Texas A&M University System, University of Houston), housing authorities (Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority, Somerville Housing Authority), and special-purpose districts (Metropolitan Transition Center in Maryland). The Metropolitan Transition Center's small-business-reserve IFB for dietary kitchen equipment (Solicitation BPM056920, due October 15, 2026) and Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's ITQ for nine appliances totaling $41,183.79 (ITQ-26-00290, due June 18, 2026) exemplify the scope: equipment procurement bundles delivery, installation, warranty, and staff training as integrated line items.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (multiple FDVA nursing-home dishwasher replacements, Escambia County walk-in freezer, Hillsborough County fire stations), California (Orange County kitchen equipment, State DGS laboratory procurement), and Northeast jurisdictions (Philadelphia micro purchases, Somerville Housing Authority, Southern Connecticut State University, University of Houston). Philadelphia has issued multiple micro purchases for individual appliances (refrigerators, microwaves, toasters, ice machines) at or near the $41,000 ceiling, signaling steady demand for commodity replacements in municipal facilities. Southern Connecticut State University's RFP 26-SCSU-3 (due May 29, 2026) represents the full-service end: a three-year, lease-based procurement for approximately 933 compact refrigerator and microwave units with maintenance, repair, replacement, and removal services, valued as an annual or semester-based per-unit cost model. Sourcing patterns show single-source and brand-specific designations (Hobart, Groen, Vulcan, Rational) common in replacements and specialized institutional settings, constraining competition and favoring authorized distributors and service providers with manufacturer relationships and technical expertise.
