Fisher Scientific Company LLC was awarded a Texas state and local contract (Award ID: HHSTX-6-0000395749) on February 23, 2026, for the procurement of ultra-low freezers and associated equipment. The contract encompasses ultra-low freezers with 24.1 cubic feet capacity, designed to hold 500 two-inch boxes and 20 racks, along with corresponding shelf kits. These units are classified under UNSPSC code 24131600 (Industrial freezers) and NIGP code 74070 (Refrigerators and Freezers, Commercial).

The freezers will support laboratory operations requiring specialized cold storage capabilities, specifically for the preservation of media and specimen materials used in tuberculosis and candida testing. The equipment is essential for maintaining the integrity of reagents and testing supplies that arrive in frozen condition and must remain frozen until point of use. While specific contract value, annual value, and cumulative value figures were not provided in the contract documentation, the procurement demonstrates Texas's commitment to equipping its health and human services laboratory infrastructure with appropriate specialized cold storage technology.
