UNSPSC 24130000 Industrial refrigeration (Family) encompasses the repair, maintenance, and supply of commercial refrigeration and freezer equipment used across state and local facilities, including schools, correctional institutions, transit agencies, county departments, and municipal buildings.

Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Parkway School District, Holly Area Schools, Temple ISD, San Antonio ISD, Granite School District), counties (Tooele County, Galveston County, Hillsborough County), cities (Wichita, Tucson, Dallas, Milpitas), transit authorities (Broward County Transportation, Trinity Metro, Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and correctional institutions (Menard Correctional Center, Oregon Youth Authority). The recent opportunity mix shows school food service equipment and refrigeration repair as standout categories, with multiple districts soliciting walk-in cooler and freezer replacements and maintenance contracts. Geographic activity clusters in Florida, Texas, Utah, Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, and Massachusetts.
