UNSPSC 24131512: Refrigerated counter preparation station

A work height counter refrigeration unit with one to 4 doors capable of storing product above 0 degrees centigrade together with chilled food pans on the counter top. Used in the makeup of sandwiches and pizza under temperature controlled conditions.

UNSPSC 24131512 Refrigerated counter preparation station, a Commodity code, encompasses walk-in freezers, walk-in coolers, combination cooler/freezer units, and refrigerated storage containers that state and local governments procure for food service operations, evidence storage, and institutional dining facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts, county sheriffs' offices, state criminal justice agencies, and municipal departments sourcing prefabricated walk-in units with remote refrigeration systems, evaporator and condensing units, insulation, shelving, and associated installation labor. Issuing bodies span school districts (Conejo Valley Unified in California, Houghton Lake and West Ottawa in Michigan, Richmond County and Pierce County in Georgia, Sinton and Temple in Texas, Bartow County in Georgia, and Midland Public Schools in Michigan), county sheriffs' offices (Gwinnett County and Sacramento County in Georgia and California), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice with multiple facility locations, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the City of Wichita Cultural Arts Department), and specialized state institutions such as Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. The mix reflects both routine equipment replacement for school food service and specialized procurement for evidence storage and detention facilities.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Texas, Georgia, Michigan, and California, with additional recent solicitations from Kansas, Minnesota, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office Freezer #8 Replacement Project (sealed IFB, due August 7, 2026, covering removal, concrete work, new walk-in freezer installation with evaporator and condensing units, electrical and fire sprinkler modifications), the Sacramento County Sheriff's Property Warehouse Walk-In Frost-Free Evidence-Storage Freezer (RFB due July 7, 2026, specifying prefabricated Dalton brand systems with foamed-in-place frames and 4-inch thermal break, grant-funded with August 30, 2026 delivery requirement), multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice refrigerated storage container procurements for individual facilities (Lindsey State Jail due July 21, 2026; Kyle Unit due July 15, 2026; Willacy County State Jail due July 14, 2026; Bell Unit due July 13, 2026), and Conejo Valley Unified School District child nutrition serving counter equipment (RFB due July 28, 2026, spanning Ventura County and Torrance City, California). The Texas Workforce Commission's kitchen cooler remediation RFP for the Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center (due June 23, 2026) exemplifies scope variation—replacing single-compressor systems with 2-stage compressor configurations and modifying roof curbs and electrical systems in occupied facilities. School district activity emphasizes turn-key delivery and installation with extended warranties (four to five years on compressor); detention and criminal justice procurement prioritizes rapid deployment and standardized compatible equipment. Payment and performance bonds, comprehensive insurance, prevailing wage compliance (in public works contexts), and E-Verify authorization are standard contract requirements across issuing bodies.
