UNSPSC 40101705: Capillary tube assemblies

UNSPSC 40101705 Capillary tube assemblies, a Commodity code, encompasses refrigeration and air-conditioning component procurement and repair services that state and local governments buy to maintain operational cooling systems across municipal facilities, schools, and transit vehicles. Recent solicitations show the code capturing both discrete component purchases—such as compressor parts and refrigerated air dryers—and broader service contracts for system maintenance and repair, including ice-maker sanitation, school bus air-conditioning maintenance, and commercial foodservice refrigeration servicing. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices (Illinois Secretary of State), county and municipal departments (City of Tampa), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Pinellas County School District), and higher-education institutions (University of Wisconsin-Madison), reflecting demand across administrative, educational, and operational facilities.
