UNSPSC 24112805: Temperature controlled freight container

A type of freight container used for transport of cargo requiring temperature control.

UNSPSC 24112805 Temperature controlled freight container (Commodity) covers the supply and customization of refrigerated and climate-controlled shipping containers for state and local government use. Recent state and local solicitations frame the work as conversion of standard cargo containers into temperature-regulated, insulated office and storage spaces equipped with mini-split HVAC systems, electrical panels, LED lighting, network infrastructure, and specialized interior finishes tailored to end-user operations—ranging from field offices for wildlife management to hazardous-material storage and aviation operations facilities. This work spans new container sourcing, spray-foam insulation, mechanical system integration, and full turnkey delivery and installation, often on a lump-sum basis with firm pricing and extended warranty obligations.

State and local buyers issuing under this code include Texas state agencies (Texas Animal Health Commission, Texas A&M Forest Service, Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida; Sarasota County, Florida; San Mateo County, California), city procurement departments (Philadelphia, Tampa, Augusta), and independent school districts (San Antonio ISD). Texas dominates recent activity, with five solicitations posted between June and October 2026; Florida and California each show secondary activity. Notice types are predominantly IFB and RFQ; response windows average 7–30 days. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Animal Health Commission IFB 554-27-001 (posted October 15, 2026, due October 22, 2026) for a 40-foot customized office container at its Willacy site with mini-split HVAC and electrical service; Texas A&M Forest Service IFB-27-004 (posted October 15, 2026, due October 30, 2026) for two 40-foot climate-controlled aviation operations offices delivered to Abilene Airport with spray polyurethane foam insulation, commercial-grade flooring, and network infrastructure; and Hillsborough County ITB-26-00247 (posted April 22, 2026, due May 15, 2026, estimated $146,685.00) for a two-year container supply contract encompassing 20- and 40-foot Conex units, including air-conditioned office containers with LED lighting. Philadelphia issued multiple micro-purchase RFQs for standard storage containers at $45,000 ceilings (July–September 2026), while Sarasota County quoted a 20-foot hazardous-material herbicide storage container at a $50,000 ceiling (September 2026). No set-aside designations appear in Texas procurements; Philadelphia collects optional LGBTQ diversity data; and most contracts impose firm pricing for 6–12 months, 5+ year warranties on workmanship, and comprehensive insurance and E-Verify compliance requirements.
