UNSPSC 52141563: Domestic panini press

An electrical appliance which grills sandwiches made from panino type bread

UNSPSC 52141563 Domestic panini press is a Commodity code tracking the procurement of small cooking appliances for institutional food service and residential settings. State and local governments under this code are buying kitchen appliances—primarily panini presses, mini refrigerators, and assorted residence hall cookware—for university housing, dormitories, and institutional kitchens. The issuing bodies are primarily higher education institutions (state universities and system offices) and municipal governments procuring for parks, facilities, and operations. Universities represent the dominant buyer class, with Texas A&M University System and University of Wisconsin-Madison both soliciting appliance packages for student housing within the recent window.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Minnesota and Georgia. The Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0537 for Reed House appliances on June 30, 2026 with a bid deadline of July 7, 2026, requiring electronic submission through the AggieBid procurement portal. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued RFB 2026-UWMSN-01230-RFB on January 28, 2026 for appliances for residence halls and apartments, with bids due February 19, 2026 through ShopUW+. The City of Philadelphia conducted a small order purchase (solicitation B2626891) for a 2.7 cubic foot mini refrigerator posted April 15, 2026 with a deadline of April 22, 2026, with a micro-purchase ceiling of $43,000. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 on behalf of participating counties in Washington and other jurisdictions for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026 with proposals due June 16, 2026—though this opportunity appears misaligned with the panini press code and likely reflects a cataloging error rather than relevant activity under this commodity.
