UNSPSC 40101805: Furnaces

UNSPSC 40101805 Furnaces (Commodity) encompasses replacement and installation of new furnace units in residential and commercial buildings, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations for complete HVAC system upgrades and component procurement. Work being solicited ranges from single-unit residential furnace replacements in community development programs to multi-facility HVAC system replacements at schools and correctional facilities, with furnaces specified to high-efficiency standards (typically 95% efficient gas-fired units with AGA labeling) and installation governed by applicable mechanical codes. Issuing bodies include city community development departments, school districts, county facilities management, and state departments of corrections; the City of Jackson Community Development Department appears as a frequent repeat buyer for residential furnace replacement through CDBG-funded community development programs. Recent solicitations emphasize prevailing-wage compliance, bonding requirements, licensed contractor status, and code-compliant installation with extended warranty coverage.

Activity concentrates in Michigan and select other states with recent activity. The City of Jackson Community Development Department issued multiple sealed-bid solicitations for furnace replacement at residential properties (321 Bates Street, 626 N East Street, and 237 N Gorham Street) between July and September 2026, each requiring 95% efficient gas-fired furnaces with AGA labels and 18-month warranties, CDBG funding with Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements, and response dates ranging from July 7 through September 28, 2026. The State of Illinois Department of Corrections at Sheridan Correctional Center posted a Basic Ordering Agreement for HVAC system components including furnaces with delivery by June 15, 2026, and the Dayton Public School District solicited HVAC and Building Automation System upgrades across three school facilities with responses due October 23, 2026. Geographic spread also includes North Carolina (Charlotte CATS maintenance contract for boiler and chiller systems) and Pennsylvania (Montgomery County PSTC Weapons Training Facility AHU replacement).
