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 that in practice covers general small appliances and kitchen equipment for residential and commercial use, as state and local opportunities under this code reflect solicitations for refrigerators, mini fridges, and broader appliance packages rather than ice cream production equipment specifically. The code sees activity across higher education institutions, city procurement departments, and university systems, with repeat buyers including the University of Wisconsin System and Texas A&M University System. Issuing bodies range from state universities to municipal procurement offices, reflecting the breadth of public sector facilities management and residential housing operations that require small appliances and kitchen equipment.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Upper Midwest and South. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued RFB 2026-UWMSN-01230-RFB for appliances for residence halls and apartments with a bid deadline of February 19, 2026. Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0537 for appliances for Reed House through its AggieBid portal with a bid deadline of July 7, 2026. The City of Philadelphia conducted a micro-purchase for a 2.7 cubic foot mini refrigerator (B2626891) with a maximum contract value of $43,000, adjusted annually by CPI-U, with a deadline of April 22, 2026. Geographic spread includes Wisconsin, Texas, Washington (through Sourcewell cooperative purchasing), Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, with no single state dominating the recent pipeline. Activity appears episodic rather than sustained, with opportunities tied to specific campus housing projects or facilities refresh cycles rather than regular recurring procurement.
