UNSPSC 52141517: Domestic popcorn poppers

UNSPSC 52141517 Domestic popcorn poppers is a Commodity code that captures commercial appliances for state and local institutional use, though recent solicitation activity shows limited and tangential relevance to popcorn-specific equipment. The code appears primarily in requests for general-purpose appliances—refrigerators, ranges, ovens, and similar kitchen equipment—supplied to public housing authorities, university residence halls, and other state or local facilities. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include public housing authorities, university systems, and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple jurisdictions and public entities.

Geographic activity is sparse in the recent record. The Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority in Virginia posted a sealed-bid request for appliances at Sykes Midrise Apartments (RFP PR260900927, response due September 24, 2026), and the Texas A&M University System issued an ITB for appliances at Reed House (TAMUSITB260537, response deadline July 7, 2026). A third recent posting—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment (response due June 16, 2026)—was tagged to this code but addresses law enforcement gear, not appliances, and represents a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle rather than direct appliance procurement. The code shows minimal recent activity; practitioners should monitor for institutional housing and foodservice equipment buys from public housing, university, and school district buyers in the Mid-Atlantic and South, but expect infrequent opportunities.
