UNSPSC 23181805: Ice making machine parts and accessories

General parts used in ice making machinery by the ice Industry

UNSPSC 23181805 Ice making machine parts and accessories is a Commodity code describing discrete replacement and service components for ice-making equipment—principally ice bins, storage units, and ice makers themselves—that state and local governments procure for correctional facilities, schools, hospitals, senior centers, and municipal departments. Recent solicitations show a market split between capital equipment purchases (new ice machines and bins) and routine maintenance services (cleaning, sanitization, and filter replacement), with both driven by operational needs in food service, inmate housing, and patient care settings.

Correctional departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, and individual correctional centers issuing multiple bids for ice bins and machines in the past four months. School districts (Pinellas County Schools, Sinton ISD) and health systems (Texas HHSC/DSHS for Big Spring State Hospital) round out the buyer base, along with scattered city and county procurements (Gwinnett County, Georgia; City of Dallas). Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas and Illinois, though recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and Minnesota cooperative purchasing initiatives. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's bids for ice bins at Cole Unit (due July 31, 2026, IFB IW258935) and Terrell Unit (due July 30, 2026, IFB IW259180); Pinellas County Schools' RFQ for ice maker cleaning and sanitation services across 121 school locations with an estimated contract value of approximately $45,000 for a one-year term (due April 30, 2026, RFQ 26JG006); the Texas HHSC procurement for energy-efficient commercial ice machines, maintenance plans, and installation at two state facilities with an expected value of $100,000 or more, requiring HUB subcontracting plan submission (due February 17, 2026, IFB HHS0016924); and the Illinois Department of Corrections' bid for ice machines and storage at Vienna Correctional Center with mandatory pre-submission conference attendance (due July 15, 2026, 27-426DOC-VIENN-B-53025). Correctional and institutional buyers typically specify equipment brands (Manitowoc, Scotsman, Hoshizaki, Ice-o-Matic) and production volumes in pounds per day, while school and health-system solicitations emphasize service quality, insurance requirements, and compliance certifications including background clearances and E-Verify.
