UNSPSC 40101801: Radiators

UNSPSC 40101801 Radiators is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure cooling-system radiator units for industrial equipment, fleet vehicles, and port machinery. Recent solicitations show two distinct categories of work: specialty radiators engineered for high-capacity generator packages and port equipment, and bulk cooling fluids for vehicle fleet maintenance. The Broward County Port Everglades solicitation exemplifies the first category, requesting two Bearward Radiator units with integrated cooling fans and protection guards rated for ambient temperatures to 50°C for a Paceco Crane generator system. The Sacramento County opportunity illustrates the second — bulk red antifreeze/coolant delivered on an as-needed basis for fleet vehicles. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments and cooperative purchasing alliances leveraging collective buying power across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California. Broward County issued an IFB on June 15, 2026, for the Bearward Radiators with a due date of June 26, 2026, and a 150-day delivery window to Port Everglades Crane Division in Fort Lauderdale; award went to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder on total price, with local-business preference under Broward County Code Section 1-74 applying to vendors with valid local business tax receipts. The County of Sacramento, in collaboration with SCOPA (Sacramento County Procurement Alliance), issued a Request for Bids (RFB) on February 20, 2026, for bulk red antifreeze/coolant meeting Cummins OAT certifications with two-business-day response and delivery requirements; the contract offered 5% local-business and 2% micro-business price preference for vendors within the Sacramento Regional Market Area, with estimated annual County spend of $30,000 and a 12-month initial term renewable for up to four additional years. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP #061626) posted May 12, 2026, for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026, deadline represents activity outside the radiator scope and does not reflect demand under this code.
