UNSPSC 52141537: Domestic crock pot

UNSPSC 52141537 Domestic crock pot is a Commodity code that captures small kitchen appliances for institutional residential use—primarily slow cookers and comparable countertop cooking equipment purchased by higher-education housing departments, university systems, and municipal facilities management. Recent opportunities solicited under this code reflect demand for bulk appliance procurement to support dormitory, apartment, and residential facility operations rather than individual consumer purchases. The issuing bodies are predominantly state university systems and university housing departments, with occasional municipal procurement participation.

Recent activity clusters in the Midwest and South. The University of Wisconsin-Madison posted RFB 2026-UWMSN-01230-RFB (due February 19, 2026) for appliances for residence halls and apartments through the ShopUW+ system; the Texas A&M University System issued ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0537 (due July 7, 2026) for appliances for Reed House through AggieBid. These represent the primary institutional buyers under the code in the recent-opportunities record. One outlier appears in the City of Philadelphia's April 2026 micro-purchase (B2626891) for a 2.7 cubic foot mini refrigerator with a $43,000 ceiling—scope mismatch suggests the city may have tagged that small-order appliance procurement incorrectly. The code shows limited volume across state and local jurisdictions; housing-focused universities and their contracting offices remain the dominant activity.
