UNSPSC 24130000: Industrial refrigeration

UNSPSC 24130000 Industrial refrigeration is a Family code encompassing the repair, maintenance, and supply of refrigeration equipment and related services purchased by state and local governments. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on on-call maintenance and repair contracts for commercial refrigeration units (walk-in coolers, freezers, ice machines, and related equipment) serving schools, correctional facilities, transit agencies, municipalities, and county departments. Issuing bodies span school districts (Pinellas County School District, Klein ISD, Town of Needham schools), state correctional facilities (Illinois Department of Corrections Menard Correctional Center, Oregon Youth Authority), transit authorities (Broward County Transportation), cities and counties (City of Tucson, City of Tampa, Hillsborough County, Santa Clara County), and special-purpose districts. Repeat purchasers include Broward County Transportation (refrigerant recovery machines for transit bus fleet maintenance) and correctional systems (routine HVAC and refrigeration maintenance across multiple facilities).

Recent opportunities span the Southeast and Western states, with particular density in Florida (Broward County, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, City of Tampa, City of Palm Bay) and activity in Arizona, Texas, Massachusetts, Oregon, Connecticut, Illinois, and California. Representative solicitations include the Pinellas County School District's RFQ for ice maker cleaning and sanitation services at 121 school locations (due April 30, 2026, estimated contract value approximately $45,000 for one year), the Town of Needham's IFB for on-call school kitchen refrigeration repairs and maintenance across eight schools (due June 9, 2026, with hourly rates and biannual preventative maintenance), the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ for HVAC services at Menard Correctional Center covering routine maintenance and emergency repairs on over 125 systems (due July 28, 2026), and Broward County Transportation's solicitation for refrigerant recovery machines under FTA funding (five units, due May 26, 2026; eight units, due May 6, 2026). The Oregon Youth Authority issued an RFQ for on-call refrigeration services across nine youth facilities statewide (due May 22, 2026, cumulative contract ceiling $250,000). Contracts typically include prevailing wage compliance, insurance requirements (general liability $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), emergency response-time mandates, and in school and correctional settings, background clearance and criminal records screening.
