UNSPSC 24131503: Walk in refrigerators

UNSPSC 24131503 Walk in refrigerators (Commodity) encompasses refrigeration equipment and associated installation, repair, and remediation work that state and local governments procure for food service, institutional kitchen operations, and specialized storage applications. State and local buyers under this code are primarily purchasing walk-in cooler replacement systems, refrigeration rack upgrades, and cooling-system remediation projects that require mechanical and electrical integration, code compliance, and coordination with facility operations. The work spans both equipment supply and installation labor, with scope ranging from full system removal and replacement to component-level repairs and upgrades. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state workforce and criminal justice agencies operating institutional kitchens and food-service facilities, as well as county transportation and municipal entities managing refrigeration infrastructure at maintenance depots and operational sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where the Texas Workforce Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted walk-in refrigeration solicitations, and in Florida, where Broward County Transportation procured refrigerant recovery machines.
