UNSPSC 24131605: Walk in freezers

UNSPSC 24131605 Walk in freezers is a Commodity code covering refrigeration equipment and related mechanical systems that state and local governments procure for food service, correctional, and institutional facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying walk-in cooler and freezer remediation, replacement refrigeration units with controls and piping, and specialized refrigeration components for fleet and facility maintenance. The work spans design, installation, structural modifications, code compliance, prevailing-wage labor, and coordination with existing building systems. Issuing bodies include state workforce and correctional agencies, county transportation authorities, and other institutional facilities requiring temperature-controlled storage.

Texas leads recent activity under this code. The Texas Workforce Commission posted RFP 3202600220 in June 2026 for kitchen cooler remediation at the Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center in Austin, involving removal and replacement of refrigeration split systems, roof modifications, electrical work, and code compliance through July 17, 2026, with prevailing wage rates and HUB subcontractor eligibility. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a separate refrigeration solicitation in April 2026 for a specialized water heater system with evaporator coils and associated mechanical components. Broward County Transportation in Florida solicited brand-new refrigerant recovery machines (eight ROBINAIR 17800C units, UL1963 certified) under FTA funding in April 2026 with a May 6, 2026 response date and ten-business-day delivery requirement to Pompano Beach. A Minnesota-based Sourcewell cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment posted in May 2026 appears unrelated to the code's scope and represents a data-tagging mismatch rather than legitimate walk-in freezer activity.
