UNSPSC 25181719: Refrigerated trailer

A containerized trailer equipped with a refrigeration system for transport of perishable items.

UNSPSC 25181719 Refrigerated trailer is a Commodity code covering the purchase and customization of refrigerated trailers and related cold-storage mobile units by state and local governments. State and local buyers use this code for specialized refrigerated transport—including poultry processing trailers, food-service concession trailers, portable hygiene trailers, school-district child nutrition trucks, and corrections-system freezer units—as well as climate-controlled storage containers and grapple dump trailers used for debris management. The issuing bodies span state departments (California Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Missouri Department of Conservation, Texas A&M University-Kingsville), county governments (Habersham County and Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (San Antonio Independent School District), cities (City of Tucson), and special-purpose districts (Fort Valley State University). Habersham County appears as a repeat buyer, posting two separate RFQs for commercial-grade grapple dump trailers for storm debris management within a single month.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, California, and Texas, with additional recent solicitations in Missouri, Arizona, and at the federal-state interface through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Representative recent opportunities include Fort Valley State University's RFQ 53300ERFQ0020972027 for a customized 53-foot poultry processing trailer with responses due October 30, 2026; Habersham County Board of Commissioners' RFQ 2027-06 for a commercial-grade 18–20 foot grapple dump trailer with hydraulic grapple arm, due October 15, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.; San Antonio Independent School District's RFP 26-021(BS) for refrigerated box trucks (Mack MD7 with Thermo King T-590 refrigeration) supporting child nutrition operations, due May 19, 2026; California Department of Education's IFB 0000038951 for nine refrigerated semi-trailer vans across three size categories (28, 32, and 46 feet) with an estimated contract value of $1.6 million to $1.8 million, due June 4, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-696-1034950 on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for 10 refrigeration trailers with freezer units and 20 dry van trailers, due June 18, 2026. Habersham County explicitly required proof of liability insurance with a $1 million per-occurrence minimum and submission of non-collusion affidavits and equal-employment-opportunity certifications. California's procurement included DVBE and Target Area Contract Preference Act (TACPA) incentives capped at 15 percent of the lowest net bid or $100,000, whichever is less.
