UNSPSC 24131512 Refrigerated counter preparation station, a Commodity code, describes equipment state and local governments procure for food service operations, including walk-in freezers and coolers, refrigerated serving and storage units, portable refrigerated containers, and related installation and service. Recent solicitations show government agencies buying prefabricated walk-in freezer and cooler systems for school cafeterias, detention centers, evidence storage facilities, and community centers; refrigerated containers for evidence and food storage; and maintenance and repair services for existing kitchen refrigeration equipment. The issuing bodies span school districts, state departments, county sheriff's offices, county purchasing divisions, and state corrections agencies. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has been a repeat buyer, soliciting refrigerated storage containers for multiple facilities (Bell Unit, Kyle Unit, Willacy County State Jail, Bridgeport, and Lindsey State Jail) between late June and early August 2026. Other repeat buyers include Gwinnett County in Georgia, which solicited both kitchen equipment (including refrigeration components) and a freezer replacement project for the Sheriff's Office in July and August 2026.

Recent activity spans multiple states with concentration in Texas, Georgia, and California. Notable solicitations include Gwinnett County's IWQ 137909 for kitchen equipment including a full-height stainless steel refrigerator and freezer at Lenora Park Community Center in Georgia (quotes due September 9, 2026); Sacramento County Sheriff's RFB 2026-RFB-0061 for a prefabricated walk-in frost-free evidence-storage freezer (bids due July 7, 2026); Houghton Lake Community Schools in Michigan requesting proposals for walk-in freezer replacement at Collins Elementary (RFP due May 22, 2026); and Richmond County Board of Education in Georgia issuing RFP #26-207 for a walk-in freezer system at Hephzibah Middle School (due May 27, 2026). The City of Austin's IFB 9000 ACA1011REBID for rental, delivery, and maintenance of portable refrigerated containers for forensic evidence storage (bids due September 15, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's installation of refrigeration equipment at Denton State Supported Living Center (amended IFB HHS0017176V2, bids due June 26, 2026) represent additional representative procurements. Set-asides and preferences appear in multiple jurisdictions—Gwinnett County requires insurance and references; Austin applies 5% local small business discounts; Pinellas County offers 5% small business preference on maintenance services; and Sacramento County encourages small, disadvantaged, women-owned, and veteran-owned firm participation under federal grant-funded procurement standards.
