UNSPSC 24131501: Combined refrigerator freezers

UNSPSC 24131501 Combined refrigerator freezers is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of walk-in freezers, reach-in refrigeration units, refrigerated storage containers, and related cold-storage equipment for food service, evidence storage, and institutional operations. Recent solicitations show two primary purchasing streams: capital equipment replacement for school district and correctional facility food services, and emergency or as-needed cold-storage rentals and facility services. The issuing bodies span school districts (Gwinnett County, Richmond County, Houghton Lake, West Ottawa, Pierce County, Bartow County, Midland Public, and Sinton ISD), state agencies (Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ, Georgia ABAC, and Texas Workforce Commission), county facilities and sheriffs' offices (Gwinnett County, Sacramento County, and Tooele County), and municipal utilities and cultural departments (City of Wichita, City of Tucson). Set-aside and preference programs vary: some districts encourage HUB, DVBE, MBE, or WBE participation; others operate under federal grant compliance (2 CFR Part 200) with full-and-open-competition requirements and no race or gender-based preferences.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (TDCJ purchasing three refrigerated storage containers for prison units, HHSC purchasing installation services, TWC/Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center, Sinton ISD, and Temple ISD), Georgia (Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, Richmond County schools, Bartow County Schools, and ABAC), Michigan (Houghton Lake, West Ottawa, and Midland Public Schools), and scattered single solicitations in Kansas, California, Utah, and Florida. Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid IFB for a Sheriff's Office walk-in freezer replacement (BL109-26, bids due August 7, 2026); Sacramento County Sheriff's sealed-bid RFB for a prefabricated Dalton brand frost-free evidence freezer kit (RFB 2026-RFB-0061, bids due July 7, 2026, with grant-funding deadline for delivery by August 30, 2026); Temple ISD's RFP for a walk-in cooler/freezer and six serving lines for a new cafeteria (RFP-008-26, proposals due March 25, 2026); Texas TDCJ's multiple electronic solicitations for refrigerated storage containers at Lindsey State Jail (IW256883, due July 21, 2026), B Moore Unit (IW255068, due July 9, 2026), Kyle Unit (IW255164, due July 15, 2026), Willacy County State Jail (IW255157, due July 14, 2026), and Bell Unit (IW255054, due July 13, 2026); and City of Wichita's Request for Bid for a 34-foot-by-24-foot walk-in cooler/freezer combo for Century II Convention Center (RFB 260047, bids due April 3, 2026).
