Includes all types of cooling equipment as well as related parts and accessories

UNSPSC 40101700 Cooling equipment and parts and accessories, a Class code, encompasses HVAC replacement, repair, maintenance, and component procurement for public facilities. State and local governments buy under this code when replacing air conditioning units, chillers, server room cooling systems, and related mechanical equipment; conducting preventive maintenance and emergency repairs; and sourcing refrigerants, compressors, capacitors, ductwork, and related components on an as-needed basis. Recent solicitations show a mix of full system replacements (rooftop units, chillers, VRF retrofits), retrofit projects, and component supply contracts across a broad range of facility types including courthouses, schools, correctional facilities, water treatment plants, airports, and housing authorities.

Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, California Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Illinois Department of Corrections, State of Georgia), county and municipal governments (Huntsville Texas, Okaloosa County Florida, Broward County Florida, Williamson County Texas, Hancock County Mississippi, Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Clay County Florida, Chatham County Georgia, San Luis Obispo County California, Sanpete County Utah), public housing authorities (Housing Authority of Salt Lake City, Harrisburg Housing Authority, Housing Authority of City of Alameda), school districts (Houston Independent School District, Stephens County Board of Education), and special-purpose districts (transit authorities, water departments, police training facilities). Geographic spread is nationwide with recent activity in Texas (TDCJ solicitations dominate, with multiple Coleman Unit and Estelle Unit procurements), California (Department of Veterans Affairs and municipal agencies), Florida (Okaloosa County, Broward County, Clay County, Hillsborough County), Georgia (state and county), and scattered activity in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Utah, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and Oregon.
