UNSPSC 52141556: Domestic food dehydrator

Device to preserve fruit, vegetable, meat, etc by dehydrating them

UNSPSC 52141556 Domestic food dehydrator is a Commodity code that covers stationary and portable food dehydration equipment for institutional and residential use. State and local activity under this code is sparse; recent opportunities show minimal direct procurement of dehydrators, with most appliance-related solicitations casting a broader net across multiple appliance categories rather than targeting dehydrators specifically.

Recent activity includes a sealed-bid solicitation from the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RFP 260900927, due September 24, 2026) for appliances to supply Sykes Midrise Apartments in Norfolk, Virginia, and an ITB from the Texas A&M University System (TAMUS-ITB-26-0537, due July 7, 2026) for appliances for Reed House. Both opportunities group dehydrators within general appliance procurement rather than isolating them as line items. A third opportunity posted by Sourcewell under RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) targeted law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide, and does not appear relevant to food dehydrator procurement. The issuing bodies are primarily housing authorities, university systems, and special-purpose procurement cooperatives rather than state departments or school districts. Recent geographic activity centers on Virginia and Texas, with broader cooperative-purchasing participation spanning multiple states. The code shows limited standalone market signal; most state and local procurement of dehydrators occurs as part of mixed appliance bundles rather than as discrete solicitations.
