UNSPSC 40101805: Furnaces

UNSPSC 40101805 Furnaces is a Commodity code that covers replacement and installation of residential and commercial heating equipment, including high-efficiency gas-fired forced air furnaces, water heaters, and associated HVAC system components for municipal facilities, county buildings, and community development block grant housing rehabilitation programs. State and local governments procure furnace replacements through sealed-bid competitions and request-for-qualifications processes, typically as single-unit replacements in residential or small commercial settings or as part of larger facility maintenance and upgrade initiatives. The issuing bodies span city community development departments, county maintenance operations, state correctional facilities, transit authorities, and municipal public works divisions. Recent opportunities show mixed sourcing approaches—some jurisdictions issue direct competitive bids for single-property replacements, while others establish on-call contractor rosters through multi-year demand-service agreements to handle repairs and replacements across portfolios of county-owned or municipal buildings.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan and Georgia, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania and Illinois. The City of Jackson Community Development Department has posted multiple sealed-bid solicitations for furnace and water heater replacement under CDBG funding, including 225 W High Street (due March 9, 2026) and 237 N Gorham Street (due July 7, 2026), both requiring Michigan-licensed contractors with SAM.gov registration and specified insurance minimums ($300,000–$500,000 per occurrence). Hall County, Georgia issued RFQ/P #47-007 for on-call HVAC contractor services (due April 30, 2026) to establish a multiple-award roster for installation, repair, and maintenance of heating and cooling equipment across county buildings on a task-order basis, with evaluation weighted 80 percent technical qualifications and 20 percent cost. The Illinois Department of Corrections at Sheridan Correctional Center procured HVAC components and gas furnaces through a small-purchase basic ordering agreement (due May 12, 2026) covering 21 supply line items with delivery by June 15, 2026. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania solicited AHU replacement at the Police/Sheriff Training Center Weapons Training Facility (due June 18, 2026). Work typically requires state mechanical licensing, prevailing wage compliance where applicable, performance and payment bonds, and 18-month warranties on residential projects.
