UNSPSC 40101841: Air preheater

A device to preheat the air for combustion with the remaining heat of the combusion gas prior to escape through the chimney.

UNSPSC 40101841 Air preheater, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity in the source records. Instead, state and local governments are soliciting HVAC installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance services across multiple building types and facility systems, with air preheaters appearing only incidentally as components within larger HVAC system modernizations rather than as standalone products or systems.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing work under or near this code span cities (Bartow, St. Petersburg, Roswell, Lubbock), counties (Forsyth, Habersham, Harris, Broward, Orange, Gwinnett, Clay, Bergen, Williamson, Wayne, Cobb, Lapeer, Montgomery), school districts (Peach County Schools, Cobb County Schools, Anchor Bay, Carrollton, Cherokee County, Calhoun Intermediate, Mid-Michigan Leadership Academy, Lane Community College), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Military Department, Texas Southern University), and regional authorities (Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District). Recent activity clusters in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Michigan. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bartow, Florida ITB 26-22 for HVAC installation, repairs, and emergency services (responses due August 5, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission RFB for preventative maintenance and repair at Rio Grande State Center in Harlingen (responses due July 31, 2026); Forsyth County, Georgia ITB 26-71-1620 for HVAC replacement at Fire Stations 1 and 12 (responses due July 23, 2026); and Orange County, Florida Y26-753 for Administration Center HVAC chiller plant upgrades with an estimated value of $3 million (responses due July 30, 2026). Scope spans single-unit replacements to campus-wide modernizations, ranging from emergency repairs to design-build construction with multi-year performance periods. The code shows significant recent activity, but the nominal commodity description (air preheater) does not align with the actual work being solicited—state and local procurement in this space targets integrated HVAC systems, not components in isolation.
