UNSPSC 24131509: Under counter refrigerator

A low undercounter height cabinet for the storage of frozen product.

UNSPSC 24131509 Under counter refrigerator (Commodity) encompasses walk-in freezers, walk-in coolers, and combination cooler-freezer units that state and local governments procure for food service operations, evidence storage, and institutional kitchen facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing prefabricated walk-in freezer systems with remote or packaged refrigeration, evaporator and condensing units, insulation packages, shelving, and associated installation labor across school districts, county sheriff offices, correctional facilities, and municipal departments. The issuing-body mix is diverse: school districts dominate the recent activity (Houghton Lake Community Schools, Richmond County Board of Education, West Ottawa Public Schools, Pierce County School System, Sinton ISD, Temple ISD, Bartow County Schools, Midland Public Schools), with county corrections and state criminal-justice agencies also soliciting frequently (Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice units, Denton State Supported Living Center, Texas Workforce Commission). County purchasing cooperatives and state colleges appear occasionally (Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, Texas A&M University System).

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, Michigan, and Kansas, with additional activity in California, Minnesota, and Florida. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid procurement for a walk-in freezer replacement at the Sheriff's Office (due August 7, 2026, IFB PE77023NONST2027000000662), Sacramento County Sheriff's RFB for a prefabricated frost-free evidence-storage freezer kit with mandatory pre-bid (due July 7, 2026, RFB 2026-RFB-0061), Texas Department of Criminal Justice multiple refrigerated storage container purchases for Lindsey State Jail, Kyle Unit, Bell Unit, and Willacy County State Jail (responses due July 9–21, 2026, via electronic portal), Bartow County Schools RFP for walk-in refrigeration equipment replacement across five school locations (due March 30, 2026), and West Ottawa Public Schools sealed-bid procurement for a two-compartment Kolpak cooler-freezer combo with remote compressors (due May 6, 2026). Evaluation typically weights cost heavily (30–45 percent), with secondary emphasis on vendor experience, response time for service calls, warranty coverage, and equipment specifications compliance. Prevailing wage, insurance, bonding, and federal compliance requirements (Davis-Bacon, Buy American, E-Verify, debarment certification) are standard in school and government procurements.
