UNSPSC 52141553: Domestic electric rice cooker

Appliance used to cook or steam rice electrically, which can be changed in function from steaming to warming after finishing cooking.

UNSPSC 52141553 Domestic electric rice cooker, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes small kitchen appliances, but recent opportunities posted under or near this classification focus on broader appliance categories for institutional settings rather than rice cookers specifically. Texas A&M University System issued ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0537 for Reed House appliances (due July 7, 2026) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison posted RFB 2026-UWMSN-01230-RFB for residence hall and apartment appliances (due February 19, 2026), neither of which discloses rice cooker quantities or specifications in available documentation. The City of Philadelphia's micro-purchase B2626891 (due April 22, 2026) sought a 2.7 cubic foot mini refrigerator, and the City of Decatur, Georgia's sealed bid for historic cottage renovation (due March 10, 2026) included kitchen renovations without appliance-specific line items. Issuing bodies span higher-education institutions, municipalities, and state agencies; repeat solicitors include university housing and facilities departments.

Geographic spread covers Texas, Wisconsin, Minnesota (through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative), Pennsylvania, and Georgia based on recent postings. The code shows activity primarily from academic institutions procuring general appliance packages for student housing rather than specialized rice cooker demand. No recent solicitations explicitly name domestic electric rice cookers as a line item, and the available opportunity documentation does not support rice cooker as a distinct procurement focus under this code in current state and local markets. Business development professionals should verify whether opportunities actually call for rice cookers before pursuing activity under this classification; the recent record suggests the code may be misaligned with actual procurement intent or bundled into broader appliance categories not itemized in public notices.
