UNSPSC 24131600: Industrial freezers

UNSPSC 24131600 Industrial freezers (Class) spans equipment procurement and installation for commercial cold storage across state and local jurisdictions—walk-in freezer boxes, prefabricated cooler-freezer combo units, refrigerated storage containers, and associated condensing and evaporator systems. State and local buyers include school districts (elementary through high school cafeterias), county sheriff's offices, state corrections and health departments, public universities, municipal parks and recreation departments, and special districts. The code also captures repair and maintenance services for existing refrigeration equipment when bundled with equipment procurement solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Michigan, and Kansas, with secondary volume in Utah, Florida, and other states. Issuing bodies range from individual school districts (Houghton Lake Community Schools in Michigan, Richmond County Board of Education in Georgia, Temple Independent School District in Texas) to state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Board of Regents). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid RFP for Sheriff's Office Freezer #8 Replacement (Georgia, due August 7, 2026, covering removal, concrete work, walk-in freezer installation, condensing/evaporator units, electrical and sprinkler modifications, and new barrier systems); Sacramento County Sheriff's RFB for a prefabricated frost-free evidence-storage freezer kit (California, due July 7, 2026, specifying Dalton-brand walk-in systems with foamed-in-place frames, welded hinges, full thermal breaks, and NSF floors); Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement for refrigerated storage containers at multiple units (Lindsey State Jail, B Moore Unit, Kyle Unit, Willacy County State Jail, Bell Unit—all due between July 9 and July 21, 2026, administered through the Bonfire electronic portal); and Bartow County Schools RFP for replacement walk-in freezer and cooler units across five school locations with 24-hour diagnostic response requirements (Georgia, due March 30, 2026). School district procurements emphasize equipment delivered within calendar year and operational by fall semesters; correctional facilities focus on rapid containerized solutions; and municipal facilities (parks departments, performance centers) specify custom-built or engineered units with extended warranties and large capacity specifications. Prevailing wage, payment and performance bonds, and comprehensive insurance (typically $1–2 million general liability) are standard across all tiers.
