UNSPSC 24131609: Under counter cabinet freezer

A low height undercounter cabinet for the storage of frozen product.

UNSPSC 24131609 Under counter cabinet freezer, a Commodity code, encompasses stand-alone and modular refrigerated storage units that state and local governments procure for food service, evidence storage, and institutional kitchen operations. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying both brand-specific replacement units and complete walk-in or under-counter freezer systems, including prefabricated kits, condensing and evaporator units, and full installation services. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of criminal justice and health and human services, county purchasing divisions, city procurement offices, school districts, and special-purpose districts. Repeat buyers include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (soliciting refrigerated containers across multiple units), Gwinnett County (Georgia), Sacramento County (California), and multiple school districts replacing aging kitchen equipment. State agencies dominate the recent activity, particularly TDCJ, which has posted at least five separate refrigerated-container procurements in the past four months.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, California, and Michigan. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued rapid-cycle RFQs for refrigerated storage containers at Bell Unit, Kyle Unit, Willacy County State Jail, Lindsey State Jail, and Bridgeport facilities (July–August 2026), with response windows of 7–14 days and electronic submission via the Bonfire portal. The State of California (RFB IS_27200112, due September 15, 2026) is procuring brand-specific freezer doors with mandatory job walks and CBE small-business certification requirements. Gwinnett County, Georgia, issued a competitive quote for walk-in freezer replacement at its Sheriff's Office (BL109-26, bids due August 7, 2026) and a separate IWQ for mixed kitchen equipment at a community center (due September 9, 2026). School districts including Hephzibah Middle School in Georgia, Houghton Lake Community Schools in Michigan, Life School in Texas, and Collins Elementary in Michigan have posted RFPs for walk-in freezer procurement and installation (May–September 2026), with contract terms typically spanning one academic or fiscal year. Pricing structures vary from fixed firm quotes to quarterly maintenance service contracts with allowances for CPI or labor-index adjustments. Set-asides and preferences appear selectively: Life School applies Buy American domestic-content thresholds; Sacramento County requires DVBE compliance statements; and multiple Texas and Georgia procurements reference local small-business or certified-business-enterprise preferences.
