UNSPSC 52141516: Domestic deep fryers

UNSPSC 52141516 Domestic deep fryers (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records tagged to appliance purchases for institutional housing and food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows limited direct deep-fryer solicitation activity. What state and local governments are actually buying under this code includes kitchen equipment for residence halls, dormitories, and campus or municipal facilities — typically as part of broader appliance procurements that may include refrigeration, cooking, and laundry equipment. Issuing bodies span higher-education institutions (university systems, individual campuses), municipal governments, and county agencies. The University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Texas A&M University System each posted appliance RFBs and ITBs respectively in early 2026; the City of Philadelphia conducted a micro-purchase for a mini refrigerator in April 2026, and the City of Decatur, Georgia issued a sealed bid for historic cottage renovation that included kitchen equipment specifications. These solicitations suggest that deep fryers, when procured separately or as line items within appliance packages, serve student housing, residential facilities, and municipal institutional operations rather than commercial food-service or restaurant contexts.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, with the most substantial institutional buying from university systems. The University of Wisconsin–Madison issued RFB 2026-UWMSN-01230-RFB for appliances for residence halls and apartments with a February 19, 2026 response deadline; the Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0537 for Reed House appliances due July 7, 2026; and the City of Philadelphia's micro-purchase B2626891 for a 2.7 cubic foot mini refrigerator closed April 22, 2026. Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) was tagged to this code but involves no deep-fryer or appliance procurement and represents a classification mismatch. The code shows episodic rather than frequent activity; pursuit depends on direct relationships with institutional procurement offices and early visibility into appliance refresh cycles at universities, state systems, and municipally operated facilities.
