UNSPSC 52141505: Domestic dish washers

UNSPSC 52141505 Domestic dish washers is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of household and commercial dishwashing appliances. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing dishwashers as part of broader appliance packages for residential facilities, institutional kitchens, and fire stations — typically specified as 24-inch built-in models with stainless steel finishes and standard features. The issuing bodies span housing authorities, university systems, county governments, and fire rescue departments; these represent a mix of institutional and residential procurement across different entity types.

Activity under this code remains limited in the recent record. Of the five opportunities posted between May and September 2026, only one — the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITQ for Kitchen & Laundry Appliances for Fire Stations (due June 18, 2026, project estimate $41,183.79) — directly specified a built-in dishwasher as a line-item purchase. The Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority's sealed-bid solicitation for appliances at Sykes Midrise Apartments (due September 24, 2026) and the Texas A&M University System's ITB for Reed House appliances (due July 7, 2026) listed the code but provided no appliance specifications in the available documents. The remaining opportunities were unrelated to dishwashers: a Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative RFP for custodial supplies and a Sourcewell RFP for law enforcement equipment. Geographic activity appears scattered across Virginia, Texas, and Florida with no concentration pattern evident. Bidders should expect that dishwasher procurement under this code will often be embedded within larger appliance bundles rather than solicited as a standalone line item; responsive bidding may require manufacturer authorization letters, specifications, and delivery compliance with tight timelines (as exemplified by Hillsborough County's 10-day delivery requirement).
