NIGP 93667 Refrigeration Equipment Maintenance And Repair, an Item code, encompasses on-call repair, preventative maintenance, parts supply, and emergency response services for commercial refrigeration systems, walk-in coolers and freezers, ice machines, and related foodservice equipment across state and local facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code include city procurement departments (Philadelphia), state corrections and health agencies (Illinois Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Colorado Department of Corrections), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Pinellas County, Klein ISD, Magnolia ISD), transit and public authorities (State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation in Oregon), state workforce agencies, and universities. Recent activity shows repeat procurement from the City of Philadelphia on micro-purchase vehicles under $45,000 for ice machine and refrigerator maintenance spanning multiple rounds (August, September, October 2026), indicating steady, distributed demand across multiple city departments. The Illinois Department of Corrections at Menard Correctional Center has issued multiple RFQs for HVACR services covering over 125 units facility-wide, typically structured as one-year initial terms with options extending to ten years total, requiring 24/7 emergency response within two to four hours and prevailing wage compliance.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (State of Texas, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Workforce Commission, Klein ISD, Magnolia ISD), Illinois (Department of Corrections at Menard, Department of Veterans Affairs), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Florida (Pinellas County Schools), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan, University of Wisconsin-Madison), Colorado (Department of Corrections), and Oregon (SAIF Corporation). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for commercial refrigeration repair and maintenance at Austin State Hospital (due August 7, 2026), specifying EPA Section 608 Universal Certification, four-hour emergency response, and $37,755.90 historical annual spend; the Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ for HVACR services at Menard Correctional Center (due July 28, 2026 and later September 30, 2026) covering preventative maintenance, emergency repair, and four-hour response at multiple facilities with prevailing wage requirements; the State of Texas RFQ for refrigeration maintenance, repair, and technical support services statewide (due October 6, 2026) open to one or more vendors; and Pinellas County School District's RFQ for ice maker cleaning and sanitation across 121 schools (due April 30, 2026, approximately $45,000 estimated value).

Most solicitations require EPA or state mechanical licensing, comprehensive insurance (workers' compensation, general liability $1 million minimum, auto liability $300,000–$1 million), background checks for facility access, and firm pricing for 60–240 days.
