UNSPSC 23181803: Ice making machines

UNSPSC 23181803 Ice making machines, a Commodity code, covers the purchase and installation of commercial ice makers, ice storage bins, and related equipment by state and local agencies including correctional facilities, health and human services departments, county parks, school districts, and municipal facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code acquire standalone ice machines ranging from compact countertop nugget-ice dispensers to high-capacity cube-ice makers with integrated storage bins, along with bundled services including delivery, installation, preventative maintenance, sanitation, and parts replacement. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Illinois, Texas), state health and human services commissions, county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Pinellas County, Florida), independent school districts (Sinton ISD, Pinellas County Schools, Texas), municipal departments (City of Dallas), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Illinois Department of Corrections appear repeatedly in recent solicitations, indicating ongoing demand for equipment replacement and maintenance across correctional system locations.

Recent opportunities span the South, Midwest, and Southeast. Texas leads the activity with multiple procurements from TDCJ (ice bins for Cole and Terrell units, both due July 2026); HHSC and DSHS (energy-efficient Manitowoc nugget and cube machines with comprehensive maintenance, February 2026; ice and water dispensers for Big Spring State Hospital, January 2026); and Sinton ISD (ice machine with storage bin as part of broader food service equipment RFP, April 2026). Illinois Department of Corrections solicited ice machines and storage at Vienna and Centralia correctional centers (July and April 2026, respectively). Pinellas County Schools issued an RFQ for ice maker cleaning and sanitation services across 121 school locations (approximately $45,000 initial contract value, April 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia requested competitive quotes for a Manitowoc ice bin and Indigo NXT ice maker with installation at a senior center (July 2026). The City of Dallas procured a single ice machine for its Aviation/Field Maintenance facility (March 2026). Sourcewell's cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP (June 2026) includes ice machines as ancillary equipment for multi-state public entities. Most recent solicitations close between late March and mid-July 2026, with correctional-facility and school-district demand dominating the recent pipeline.
