UNSPSC 24131602: Upright cabinet freezer

An upright cabinet for the storage of frozen products

UNSPSC 24131602 Upright cabinet freezer, a Commodity code, covers individual refrigeration and freezing units that state and local governments procure for facilities ranging from schools and fire departments to universities and municipal offices. Recent solicitations show purchasing spanning small countertop and undercounter models (13.9 to 21.9 cubic feet) through larger walk-in systems, with buyers treating the code as encompassing standalone refrigeration equipment across multiple operational contexts—evidence storage, food service, residential housing, and general facility operations. The mix of issuing bodies reflects broad government demand: city procurement offices (Philadelphia), county governments (Hillsborough County, Escambia County), school districts (Muskegon Public Schools, Newaygo Public Schools, Uintah School District), universities (Texas A&M University System, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Middle Georgia State University), and special-purpose authorities (Events DC). Philadelphia appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple micro-purchase solicitations for refrigerators and ice machines in April and July 2026. Purchasing patterns align with facility maintenance cycles and operational needs rather than a single buyer type dominating the code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County, Escambia County), Michigan (Muskegon, Newaygo, statewide Wisconsin activity), and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), with scattered activity across Georgia, Utah, Texas, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITQ for nine appliances (refrigerators, cooktops, ovens, washers, dryers) totaling $41,183.79 for fire stations, due June 18, 2026; Muskegon Public Schools' RFP for two replacement walk-in units at the high school, due April 17, 2026, evaluated on experience, scope fulfillment, quality, and cost; Philadelphia's July 2026 micro-purchase IFBs for an ice machine and refrigerator/microwave/toaster, each due July 17, 2026 with $41,000 ceilings; and Escambia County's ITQ for walk-in freezer removal and replacement at the animal welfare center, due March 9, 2026. Bid cycles run tight (3–7 days for Philadelphia micro-purchases; 10–30 days for larger school and county work), and equipment specifications are often brand-specific or model-specific, signaling that winning vendors typically hold authorized distributor or dealer status with named manufacturers.
