UNSPSC 40101727: Radiator cooler

Radiators are heat exchangers used for cooling internal combustion engines, mainly in automobiles but also in piston-engine aircraft, railway locomotives, motorcycles, stationary generating plants, or any similar use of such an engine.

UNSPSC 40101727 Radiator cooler is a Commodity code that represents components and replacement units for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems procured by state and local government. State and local buyers under this code are actually purchasing HVAC equipment including compressors, blower motors, capacitors, fan controls, refrigerants (R22, R410A, R454A, R407C), expansion tanks, pumps, ductwork components, air handling units, packaged HVAC systems, pre-conditioned air units, chilled water equipment, and related mechanical system components for facility operations, infrastructure upgrades, and emergency repairs.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Education, Oregon Military Department, Georgia Department of Driver Services), counties (Williamson County and Hancock County in Texas, Clay County and Hillsborough County in Florida, Montgomery County in Pennsylvania, Hall County in Georgia), municipal departments (City of Dallas, City of Austin, City of Norwalk), school districts (Parkway School District, Norwalk Public Schools), transit authorities (Utah Transit Authority, Dallas Area Rapid Transit), and special facilities (Harrisburg Housing Authority, Austin State Supported Living Center, Santa Clara County Library District). Texas dominates recent activity, with multiple TDCJ solicitations for packaged HVAC units, split systems, and make-up air handlers alongside Williamson County's series of chiller plant and air handling unit replacement projects. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017634 (July 28, 2026 response) for chemicals, gases, and HVAC equipment including refrigerants and blower motors with an estimated contract value of $50,000; Hancock County's sealed bids for HVAC replacements (July 6, 2026 deadline); Williamson County's multiple competitive sealed proposals for chiller plant upgrades and AHU replacements at $580,000 to $810,000 budgets; the Oregon Military Department's ITB for HVAC repairs and replacements across thirteen buildings at Portland Air National Guard Base (May 26, 2026 closure) with estimated project value of $200,000 to $400,000; and Hall County, Georgia's RFQ/P for on-call HVAC contractor services with multiple award structure (April 30, 2026 deadline). Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas and the Southeast; secondary activity appears in Oregon, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, California, and Georgia.
