UNSPSC 52141557: Domestic ice cream maker

A machine used to make small quantities of ice cream for personal consumption

UNSPSC 52141557 Domestic ice cream maker is a Commodity code under which state and local governments buy appliances for residential and institutional facilities. Recent solicitations show the code is being used to procure general appliances — refrigerators, ranges, and related equipment — for housing authority apartments and university dormitories rather than dedicated ice cream production equipment. The issuing bodies include housing authorities, university systems, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. None of the recent opportunities explicitly reference ice cream makers; the code appears to be applied broadly to appliance procurement despite its specific name.

Activity appears concentrated in Virginia and Texas based on recent postings. The Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority posted an IFB in September 2026 for appliances to supply and deliver to Sykes Midrise Apartments, with bids due September 24, 2026. The Texas A&M University System issued an ITB in June 2026 for appliances for Reed House, with bids due July 7, 2026 through the AggieBid portal. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment posted in May 2026 was also tagged under this code, suggesting potential coding misalignment in state procurement systems. The code shows modest recent activity with a narrow issuing-body base; vendors should verify actual appliance specifications in pre-bid documentation before investing pursuit effort, as the code's nominal scope diverges from the general-appliance work being solicited.
