UNSPSC 52141539: Domestic tea makers

UNSPSC 52141539 Domestic tea makers, a Commodity code, shows little activity aligned to its nominal scope; recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code are actually purchasing residential and institutional appliances—mini refrigerators, residence hall cookware and kitchen equipment, and building systems—rather than tea makers. The issuing bodies represent a mix of higher education institutions (Texas A&M University System, University of Wisconsin-Madison) and municipal governments (City of Philadelphia, City of Decatur), reflecting typical state and local procurement demand for furnishings and equipment across campus and civic facilities. The scope of actual buying activity includes general-purpose appliances for student housing, small kitchen equipment, and renovation-related appliance installation, none of which aligns cleanly with tea-maker procurement.

Geographic activity across the recent opportunities spans Texas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include the University of Wisconsin-Madison's request for bids for appliances for residence halls and apartments (RFB 2026-UWMSN-01230-RFB, due February 19, 2026), the City of Philadelphia's micro-purchase for a 2.7 cubic foot mini refrigerator (ITB B2626891, due April 22, 2026), and Texas A&M University System's ITB for Reed House appliances (TAMUS-ITB-26-0537, due July 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being solicited suggests that the UNSPSC classification may be applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies; practitioners should verify actual appliance categories and specifications in each opportunity rather than rely on the code designation alone.
