UNSPSC 24113104: Cold storage box

UNSPSC 24113104 Cold storage box (Commodity) covers walk-in and packaged refrigeration units, coolers, and freezers that state and local governments install in food-service facilities, correctional institutions, and warehouse operations. Recent solicitations show agencies procuring complete refrigeration systems with installation, commissioning, and multi-year maintenance support rather than standalone boxes. The issuing bodies include state workforce commissions, state departments of agriculture, county youth authorities, city procurement offices, and education service centers operating as cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Activity spans Texas (Texas Workforce Commission, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), New Jersey (Department of Agriculture), Oregon (Youth Authority), and Arizona (City of Phoenix). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Workforce Commission's IFB 3202700016 (August 2026, due September 18, 2026) for replacement of two walk-in cooler and freezer units at the IRS Building FAC 919 in Austin with firm-fixed pricing and prevailing wage requirements; the New Jersey Department of Agriculture's RFP 26DPP01313 (August 2026, due October 29, 2026) for food storage and warehousing facilities managing approximately 584,000 cases of USDA foods across two regional zones covering 700 school districts; the Oregon Youth Authority's RFQ S-41500-00016951 (May 2026, due May 22, 2026) for on-call refrigeration services at nine youth correctional facilities with a cumulative contract value not to exceed $250,000; and the Texas Workforce Commission's RFP 3202600135 (June 2026, due June 23, 2026) for kitchen cooler remediation at the Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center requiring replacement of existing single-compressor systems with 2-stage compressor systems and roof modifications.
