UNSPSC 52141517: Domestic popcorn poppers

UNSPSC 52141517 Domestic popcorn poppers (Commodity) encompasses kitchen appliances for state and local institutional use, though the recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with popcorn equipment and instead reflect broader appliance procurement across higher education and municipal facilities. State and local governments acquire appliances under this code primarily through higher education institutions and municipal procurement offices, with solicitations typically bundled into larger appliance packages rather than popcorn-specific lines. The Texas A&M University System, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the City of Philadelphia have posted recent appliance-related solicitations, though only the TAMUS and UW-Madison opportunities explicitly target residence hall and student housing stock; the City of Philadelphia's recent micro-purchase was for a mini refrigerator, and a City of Decatur renovation project included appliance installation as part of a broader construction scope.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the upper Midwest and Southwest, with posted opportunities from Texas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia between January and June 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the University of Wisconsin-Madison's RFB 2026-UWMSN-01230-RFB for appliances in residence halls and apartments (due February 19, 2026) and the Texas A&M University System ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0537 for Reed House appliances (due July 7, 2026). The code shows sparse direct activity for popcorn poppers specifically; the recent opportunities represent general appliance procurement rather than food-service or concession equipment. If your firm pursues appliance supply to higher education institutions, these university solicitations merit tracking, but this code's nominal scope does not align closely with current state and local buying patterns.
