UNSPSC 24131606: Plate freezers

UNSPSC 24131606 Plate freezers is a Commodity code covering walk-in freezers, refrigerated storage containers, and related equipment that state and local governments procure for food service, evidence storage, detention facilities, and institutional operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing both new equipment installations and maintenance services—from prefabricated walk-in freezer kits to portable refrigerated containers to repair and quarterly servicing of existing detention kitchen equipment. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas A&M University System), county governments (Gwinnett County, Pinellas County, Sacramento County), school districts (Houghton Lake Community Schools, Richmond County Board of Education, Life School), municipalities (City of Austin), and state-supported facilities (Denton State Supported Living Center). A significant share of recent activity comes from Texas corrections and human services agencies procuring refrigerated storage containers and equipment installations.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Texas, Georgia, and California, with additional activity in Michigan, Minnesota, and Florida. Recent representative opportunities include the State of California's September 2026 RFB for a brand-specific freezer door with mandatory job walk (RFBIS27200112, due September 15, 2026); Gwinnett County's September 2026 IWQ for kitchen equipment including a full-height freezer at a community center (PE77023NONST2027000000724, due September 9, 2026); Life School's September 2026 RFP for kitchen equipment under federal School Nutrition Program funding (RFP 2026-01, due September 28, 2026); Sacramento County Sheriff's July 2026 RFB for a prefabricated walk-in frost-free evidence-storage freezer kit (2026RFB0061, due July 7, 2026); and Pinellas County's August 2026 ITQ for detention kitchen equipment maintenance covering ovens, grills, griddles, and dishwashing machines (ITQ #26-0455-ITQ, due July 30, 2026). Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple solicitations for refrigerated storage containers at individual units (Bell, Kyle, Willacy County State Jail, Bridgeport, and Lindsey). Most solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, insurance and bonding requirements, compliance certifications (E-Verify, debarment), and delivery timelines aligned to grant funding deadlines or operational needs.
