UNSPSC 52141801: Domestic sewing machines

UNSPSC 52141801 Domestic sewing machines is a Commodity code covering the supply and service of sewing equipment to state and local institutions. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for career and technical education (CTE) programs in school districts, purchasing new sewing machines, sergers, parts, accessories, and bundled service and warranty support. The Alpine School District's RFP for Bernina 335 sewing machines and L850 sergers, posted April 20, 2026 with an April 27 response deadline, exemplifies the scope: the district sought a single vendor to supply equipment to 36 schools across Utah County and provide delivery, installation, training, repair, and five-year extended warranty coverage. School districts appear to be the primary issuing bodies under this code, with purchasing driven by career and technical education curriculum needs and multi-year service arrangements.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Utah, where the Alpine School District RFP represents recent sustained demand. A Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitation (IW247519) posted April 16, 2026 with a response deadline the same day also appears under the code, though the procurement documentation is incomplete and does not specify scope details beyond sewing machines, indicating possible tag misalignment or insufficient disclosure. The Alpine School District RFP is the clearest recent signal: it contemplates a single-award contract commencing May 31, 2026 for an initial one-year term with four one-year renewal options, with pricing guaranteed for year one. The district requires vendors to demonstrate a minimum five years' experience serving K-12 schools and capability to supply parts and repair services across all school locations; no set-asides or incumbent vendors were named. The district will dissolve into three successor districts (Aspen Peaks, Lake Mountain, and Timpanogos) effective July 1, 2027, with adoption of the contract at the discretion of each.
