UNSPSC 40101817: One pass exchangers

UNSPSC 40101817 One pass exchangers (Commodity) encompasses chiller replacement, maintenance, and repair services that state and local governments buy to support cooling infrastructure across facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts, counties, municipalities, universities, and transit authorities procuring turnkey chiller replacements, preventative maintenance contracts, emergency repair services, and temporary chiller rentals to support operational continuity at administrative buildings, educational facilities, data centers, airport terminals, and housing complexes. The work ranges from equipment-only supply and installation to full-service preventative and corrective maintenance with 24/7 emergency response, chemical water treatment, and system optimization. State and local buyers typically require contractor licensure (Florida Class A Air-Conditioning or equivalent state mechanical contractor certification), factory certifications for specified equipment manufacturers (Trane, York, Carrier, Lochinvar, Daikin Applied Americas, Johnson Controls), EPA Section 608 Universal Refrigerant Certification, and demonstrated technical capacity. Contracts often include performance bonding, comprehensive insurance (general liability minimums ranging from $1 million to $5 million per occurrence), and prevailing-wage or Davis-Bacon compliance where federal facility funding applies. Many solicitations employ cooperative purchasing benchmarks against state contracts (notably Florida Department of Management Services pricing) and include set-asides or preferences for small business enterprises, disadvantaged business enterprises, or service-disabled veteran-owned firms where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Florida School Districts (Pinellas County Schools, Cherokee County Schools) have issued multiple sealed-bid ITBs for chiller replacement and maintenance across the past four months, with Orange County pursuing a $3,000,000 Administration Center chiller plant upgrade (bids due September 1, 2026 via OpenGov).

Georgia State University issued two Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for chiller replacement at Library South Data Center and East Campus Central Plant (SOQs due July 21 and July 23, 2026), structured as two-stage procurements proceeding to sealed-bid RFPs after shortlisting.
