UNSPSC 40101812: Divided exchangers

UNSPSC 40101812 Divided exchangers (Commodity) covers chiller equipment replacement, maintenance, and repair services that state and local governments procure for facility cooling systems across schools, universities, municipalities, counties, and transit authorities. Recent opportunities under this code focus on turnkey chiller replacement projects—including equipment supply, installation, piping, electrical integration, and commissioning—alongside preventative maintenance and repair contracts for existing chiller infrastructure. The work spans water-cooled and air-cooled chiller systems, associated cooling towers, pumps, heat exchangers, and refrigerant handling. Issuing bodies include school districts (Cherokee County Schools, Pinellas County Schools, Klein ISD), cities (Charlotte, St. Petersburg, Phoenix, Orange County), counties (Monroe County, Broward County, Catoosa County), state agencies (Oregon Department of Administrative Services), universities (Georgia State University, University of Southern Mississippi, University of Houston, Texas A&M University), and transit authorities (CATS in Charlotte). Repeat buyers visible in the recent block include Pinellas County Schools (multiple chiller replacement RFQs/IFBs in July and August 2026) and Georgia State University (two separate chiller replacement solicitations in June 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Pinellas County Schools, Monroe County, Orange County, Broward County, St. Petersburg), Georgia (Georgia State University, Catoosa County, College Park), and Texas (Texas A&M University, University of Houston, Rio Grande State Center), with additional recent opportunities in Mississippi, Oregon, California, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include Orange County, Florida's Administration Center HVAC Chiller Plant Upgrades (IFB Y26-753, estimated $3,000,000, bids due September 1, 2026); Broward County Aviation Department's Central Energy Plants and Related HVAC Equipment Preventative Maintenance and Rental Services (ITB BLD2130746B2, open-end indefinite-quantity contract with $1.11 million annual pass-through allowances, proposals due October 7, 2026); Pinellas County Schools' multiple chiller replacement solicitations via sealed electronic bids (26CD027 and 26CD029, July 2026); and the State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services' HVAC Water Treatment Hot/Cold Water Systems Services (RFP S1070000017049, maximum not-to-exceed $5,000,000, proposals due October 5, 2026). School districts and airports appear to be high-volume buyers, often seeking multiple awards to maintain service continuity and competitive pricing on critical infrastructure maintenance.
