UNSPSC 52141609: Domestic stain removing device

Cleaning device that uses ultrasonic technology for breaking down stain particles on fabrics which are then removed with a small quantity of water and detergent that is sprayed over the surface.

UNSPSC 52141609 Domestic stain removing device is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations posted under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities tagged to this code actually solicit appliances for institutional housing—mini refrigerators, stoves, washers, and dryers for residence halls, apartments, and historic cottages—rather than stain removal equipment such as carpet extractors or specialized cleaning devices. State and local buying under this code's label is driven by higher education institutions (the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas A&M University System) and municipal governments (City of Philadelphia, City of Decatur, Georgia), but the misclassification suggests the code may not be the primary descriptor for appliance procurement across the state and local market.

Recent activity appears across Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, with higher education institutions representing the bulk of recent postings. Representative opportunities include the University of Wisconsin-Madison's February 2026 RFB for appliances for residence halls and apartments (due February 19, 2026), Texas A&M University System's June 2026 ITB for Reed House appliances (due July 7, 2026), the City of Philadelphia's April 2026 micro-purchase for a 2.7 cubic foot mini refrigerator (due April 22, 2026), and the City of Decatur's February 2026 sealed bid for cottage renovation that includes washer, dryer, and HVAC installation (due March 10, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for domestic stain removal devices specifically; business development professionals should verify whether this code aligns with their product portfolio or whether alternative UNSPSC codes for appliances or cleaning equipment better match state and local procurement patterns.
