UNSPSC 24131602: Upright cabinet freezer

An upright cabinet for the storage of frozen products

UNSPSC 24131602 Upright cabinet freezer (Commodity) covers the supply and installation of reach-in and walk-in refrigeration and freezer units for institutional and residential settings. Recent state and local solicitations show demand spanning higher-education housing, public-sector food service, animal-welfare facilities, and government office kitchens. The code encompasses single-unit microwave/refrigerator combinations leased to student housing, commercial reach-in freezers and refrigerators specified for rest-area food service, walk-in freezer replacement at animal-welfare centers, and multi-appliance kitchen packages for fire stations and university residences. Issuing bodies include large university systems (University of Houston, Texas A&M University System), county housing authorities and redevelopment agencies (Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority, Escambia County), municipal governments (City of Philadelphia), county departments (Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, California Department of Rehabilitation), and specialized procurement vehicles (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing on behalf of multiple counties). The mix reflects both direct replacement and new-installation demand across diverse institutional customers.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Texas, Florida, and Virginia. Representative opportunities include the University of Houston's RFP-730-UofH-3142 for 1,632 MicroFridge combination units across residence halls (response due October 7, 2026), the California Department of Rehabilitation's RFQ 03-0813-B for two reach-in refrigerators and two reach-in freezers at the Westley rest area with Small Business preference applied (quotes due August 20, 2026), Escambia County's ITQ for walk-in freezer removal and replacement at the Animal Welfare and Adoption Center in Pensacola, Florida (quotes due March 9, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITQ-26-00290 for kitchen and laundry appliances for fire stations with a project estimate of $41,183.79 (quotes due June 18, 2026), and multiple City of Philadelphia micro-purchase IFBs for individual refrigerators and appliance combinations (response dates May–July 2026, contract ceilings around $41,000–$43,000 each). Specifications typically require energy-efficient, code-compliant units; manufacturers' authorization; FOB destination delivery; and in some cases, installation, commissioning, and staff training.
