UNSPSC 40101806: Heat pumps

UNSPSC 40101806 Heat pumps, a Commodity code, represents state and local procurement of air-source and split-system heat pump equipment for HVAC system replacement, modernization, and expansion at educational institutions, county facilities, and school districts. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring both packaged units (typically 2.0 to 7.5 tons) and ductless split systems with modern refrigerants, often as part of facility upgrades to meet current efficiency standards or replace legacy 410A equipment. The issuing bodies include state technical college systems, county purchasing departments, school districts, and county emergency management divisions, with school districts and state educational entities appearing as repeat purchasers in the recent activity.

Heat pump procurement activity is concentrated in Georgia and Nevada, with representation from Florida and Texas. The Technical College System of Georgia, issuing through the Team Georgia Marketplace, solicited six 2.0-ton Arcoaire package heat pumps with A2L-compatible R-454B refrigerant for Atlanta Technical College and West Georgia Technical College in an eRFQ closed April 29, 2026. The Clark County School District in Nevada posted an as-needed competitive bid on March 23, 2026 (due April 16, 2026) for HVAC units, motors, compressors, and parts requiring 80 percent order fulfillment within ten calendar days. Talbot County, Georgia issued a competitive bid for two 7.5-ton split heat pump systems with R-454B refrigerant and new air handlers for the Fire Department, due March 26, 2026. Activity reflects a shift toward lower-Global Warming Potential refrigerants (R-454B) and modular efficiency upgrades rather than wholesale system replacements.
