UNSPSC 40101721: Water cooled condensor

A type of condenser that removes and dissipates heat from the compressed vapor to the surrounding water to condense the refrigerant vapor to a liquid. The liquid refrigerant then falls by gravity to a receiver where it is stored, and available for future use in the system.

UNSPSC 40101721 Water cooled condensor, a Commodity code, describes equipment components that state and local governments procure primarily for HVAC system repair, replacement, and modernization work across facilities ranging from correctional institutions and government office buildings to airports and utility infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing water-cooled condenser units as part of blanket orders for HVAC parts, individual system replacements, and comprehensive chiller plant upgrades rather than as standalone commodity purchases.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ, Oregon Military Department, Georgia Department of Driver Services), county governments (Williamson County Texas, Hancock County Mississippi, Hall County Georgia, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), city procurement offices (City of Dallas, City of Austin, City of Norwalk), school districts (Parkway School District Missouri), and special-purpose authorities (Atlanta BeltLine Inc., Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Santa Clara County Library District). Texas agencies—particularly HHSC, TDCJ, and Williamson County—dominate recent activity. The code sees activity across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and California, with Texas generating the heaviest recent volume. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC blanket order for HVAC equipment and chemicals (IFB HHS0017634, responses due July 28, 2026, estimated value $50,000) covering refrigerants and HVAC components for Austin State Supported Living Center; Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's blanket purchase for janitorial and operational supplies including HVAC-related items (ITB 26-00319, bids due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84); and multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations for 20-ton HVAC trailer-mounted package units and split systems (IFB responses due July 22, 2026). Williamson County has issued three chiller plant upgrade contracts in the past four months, indicating sustained mechanical systems modernization activity ($580,000–$810,000 range per project). Most recent opportunities are posted as RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs with firm-fixed pricing, ranging from emergency repairs through comprehensive plant replacements, typically requiring firm pricing for 30–180 days and delivery within 10–14 calendar days.
