UNSPSC 52141533: Domestic electric griddles

UNSPSC 52141533 Domestic electric griddles is a Commodity code that captures small kitchen appliances for institutional and residential settings. The recent opportunities posted under this code show state and local governments purchasing a broader range of appliances — mini refrigerators, full appliance sets for student housing, and kitchen equipment for institutional renovation — rather than griddles specifically. Texas A&M University System, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the City of Philadelphia, and the City of Decatur have all posted solicitations in the past six months for appliances destined for residence halls, apartments, historic cottages, and institutional facilities. The issuing bodies span state university systems, city procurement departments, and higher-education institutions, with each soliciting through their own procurement portals (AggieBid, ShopUW+, PHLContracts, and municipal sealed-bid processes). The code appears to be a catch-all for small appliance purchases rather than a narrowly defined griddle-specific category.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued RFB 2026-UWMSN-01230-RFB for appliances for residence halls and apartments with bids due February 19, 2026. Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0537 for Reed House appliances due July 7, 2026, requiring bids through AggieBid. The City of Philadelphia conducted a micro-purchase for a 2.7 cubic foot mini refrigerator (solicitation B2626891) with a maximum contract value of $43,000 and bids due April 22, 2026. The City of Decatur, Georgia issued a sealed-bid solicitation for the Decatur Legacy Park Edwards and Trustees Renovation (due March 10, 2026) that included kitchen appliance installation as part of a broader renovation scope. These opportunities suggest activity is driven by institutional capital projects, residence-hall refurbishment, and routine facility maintenance rather than griddle procurement in isolation.
