UNSPSC 40101704: Condensing units

UNSPSC 40101704 Condensing units (Commodity) covers air-cooled and water-cooled condensing units for HVAC systems that state and local governments procure as part of facility cooling retrofits, replacements, and maintenance contracts. Recent state and local opportunities show condensing units being purchased primarily as components within larger HVAC system replacement and upgrade projects—not as standalone equipment orders. State agencies, county facilities operations, school districts, airport authorities, and housing authorities solicit under this code. The State of California Department of General Services, Facilities Management Division; Houston Independent School District (HISD); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; the City of Dallas Department of Aviation; the Florida Department of Transportation; and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) have all posted condensing-unit-related work in the past eight weeks. Most recent opportunities bundle condensing unit installation with removal of existing equipment, ductwork modifications, and associated piping and electrical work, reflecting the market reality that condensing units move as part of complete system replacements rather than as commodity buys.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas, with activity also in Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, and Minnesota. Representative opportunities include the State of California Department of General Services IFB25-301860 (Chiller Maintenance and Repair Services, due August 11, 2026), covering preventive maintenance and repairs for three Carrier centrifugal chillers and four BAC cooling condenser towers at the CalEPA Building in Sacramento; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's procurement of a 15-ton HVAC unit package for Mechler Unit (ITB, due July 24, 2026); Houston Independent School District's RFP 270003 (HVAC Chiller Replacement Project, due July 29, 2026) for installation of air-cooled chillers and air handling units at three school campuses, with site visits completed and completion required by December 31, 2026; and the City of Dallas Department of Aviation's rebid for removal and installation of twenty pre-conditioned air 30-ton HVAC units at Dallas Love Field Airport (RFB, due February 20, 2026, with installation beginning May 2026 and completion required within 426 calendar days). California Caltrans has posted two successive IFPQs (April 14 and May 11, 2026) restricted to certified small business, microbusiness, or DVBE contractors for HVAC replacement at its District 11 Museum in San Diego, with maximum bids capped at $484,000 and prevailing wage requirements applying.
