UNSPSC 40101806: Heat pumps

UNSPSC 40101806 Heat pumps (Commodity) covers commercial HVAC replacement and maintenance services at public facilities, where state and local governments procure equipment installation, system integration, and ongoing service contracts for rooftop package units, boiler and chiller systems, and facility-wide HVAC upgrades. The buying bodies include housing authorities, city transit and facilities departments, and school districts. Work solicited under this code ranges from discrete replacement projects—such as rooftop HVAC unit swaps with concurrent removal, disposal, and system reconnection—to broader preventative maintenance and repair frameworks covering multiple equipment manufacturers and facilities. Contractors must hold relevant state licenses (California C-20 for commercial HVAC work in California), manufacturer certifications (for proprietary equipment such as Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Carrier, and Lochinvar systems), and demonstrated experience in similar rooftop or facility-scale installations. Scope typically includes disconnection and disposal of existing refrigerant per Clean Air Act Section 608 compliance, crane and rigging services, electrical and plumbing reconnection, condensate drain installation, system startup and testing, and extended warranty coverage (often 2 to 10 years depending on component).
