UNSPSC 52141561: Domestic tagine

A tagine is a cooking pot consisting of two parts: a flat, circular base unit with low sides and a large cone or dome shaped cover that sits on the base during cooking. With the cover removed, the base can be taken to the table for serving

UNSPSC 52141561 Domestic tagine (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally identifies cookware, yet the two recent opportunities actually solicited under it involve appliances for residential housing and institutional facilities — kitchen equipment of broader scope than the code name suggests. The Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority issued a sealed-bid request for appliances to supply Sykes Midrise Apartments, and the Texas A&M University System sought bids on appliances for Reed House. Both solicitations use the code without specifying whether tagines or any other particular appliance type is included in the scope. A third posting, Sourcewell's RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating counties and other public entities, is unrelated to the code's product scope and appears to be a classification mismatch.

Recent activity spans Virginia and Texas, with the Norfolk solicitation closing September 24, 2026, and the Texas A&M ITB (Invitation to Bid) having closed July 7, 2026. Housing authorities and university systems are the issuing bodies present in the record. The sparse and scattered nature of opportunities under this code, combined with the gap between the code's name and what solicitations actually describe, suggests limited procurement demand specifically for tagines or even specialized cookware in state and local markets. Firms pursuing this code should verify that their product or service genuinely matches the appliance scope state and local buyers are actually requesting, as the code's taxonomy label may not align with how procuring bodies are tagging their needs.
