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 condenser (Commodity) represents a narrow product segment within state and local HVAC procurement, but recent solicitations show it is rarely procured as a standalone item. Instead, state and local agencies purchase water-cooled condensers almost exclusively as components bundled within broader HVAC system replacements, maintenance contracts, or equipment packages. When condensers appear in opportunities, they are typically specified as part of split-system air conditioning units, packaged rooftop units, or chiller systems serving data centers, water treatment facilities, airport terminals, and correctional institutions. The issuing bodies span city departments (Huntsville, Texas; Tampa, Florida; Eastman, Georgia; Norwalk, Connecticut), county agencies (Okaloosa County, Florida; Broward County, Florida; Williamson County, Texas; Clay County, Florida; Hancock County, Mississippi; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), state departments (Oregon DAS; Texas TDCJ; Georgia Board of Education; Illinois IDOC), and special districts (Charlotte transit authority; Chatham County Mosquito Control). No single repeat buyer dominates the recent-activity block; opportunities cluster across multiple states and issuing-body types, suggesting broad but dispersed demand.

Recent opportunities show HVAC system modernization as the primary driver rather than condenser replacement in isolation. The City of Huntsville issued IFB 27-04 on October 8, 2026 (due October 27, 2026) for as-needed HVAC services across city facilities, requiring firm pricing for 120 days and a contract term through September 30, 2027 with four one-year renewal options. Okaloosa County, Florida posted ITB AP0327 on October 5, 2026 (due October 28, 2026) to furnish and install three 45-ton preconditioned air units on passenger boarding bridges at Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport, a project that involves water-cooled or air-cooled condensing units as part of ground support equipment. The Town of Waterford, Connecticut solicited IFB 26010 (due October 13, 2026) for ductless split-system air-conditioning replacement at a community center IT room, specifying both indoor cassette fan coil and outdoor condensing units. The State of Oregon DAS posted RFP S1070000017049 (due October 5, 2026) for HVAC water treatment services across 24 DAS-owned buildings, with a maximum not-to-exceed compensation of $5,000,000.00 and a two-year contract term with renewal options. Opportunities in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Oregon, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania dominate the recent-activity window, with August through October 2026 showing peak solicitation velocity. The code sees steady but modest activity; condensers are acquired as functional components within system-level procurements rather than as discrete commodity line items commanding independent RFPs or IFBs.
