UNSPSC 24131511: Bakery cabinet refrigerator

Cabinet refrigerator designed specifically to accommodate bakery size trays and store goods or commodities above 0 degrees centigrade.

UNSPSC 24131511 Bakery cabinet refrigerator (Commodity) represents walk-in and portable refrigerated storage equipment that state and local governments procure for food service operations, evidence storage, and institutional kitchens. Recent solicitations show buyers purchasing prefabricated walk-in freezers and coolers, portable refrigerated containers, freezer door components, and related installation and maintenance services. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county governments (Gwinnett County, Pinellas County, Sacramento County, Richmond County), school districts (Houghton Lake Community Schools, Life School, Hephzibah Middle School), cities (Austin), and special-purpose authorities (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing). The category spans both new equipment procurement and ongoing maintenance contracts; Pinellas County's detention center kitchen equipment service ITQ exemplifies the maintenance side, while multiple TDCJ refrigerated container solicitations and school district walk-in freezer RFPs represent new purchase activity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, California, and Michigan. Texas agencies have issued at least six separate refrigerated container solicitations in the past four months through TDCJ, HHSC, and the Texas Workforce Commission. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's IWQ 137909 requesting quotes for kitchen equipment at a community center (due September 9, 2026), Sacramento County's RFB 2026-RFB-0061 for a prefabricated walk-in frost-free evidence freezer (due July 7, 2026), Houghton Lake Community Schools' walk-in freezer replacement RFP (due May 22, 2026), and California's RFBIS27200112 for brand-specific freezer door procurement with a mandatory job walk (due September 15, 2026). Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing initiative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) signals potential expansion into multi-jurisdictional procurement frameworks. Contract values, warranty terms, and insurance requirements vary by issuing body; school districts typically require extended compressor warranties and turn-key installation pricing, while corrections facilities emphasize operational continuity and compliance with security protocols including background checks and facility access restrictions.
