UNSPSC 40101842: Ice melting device

A device that uses electric heat to melt ice build up.

UNSPSC 40101842 Ice melting device is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring. The code's nominal scope—ice melting devices—does not map to the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code in the source block. Instead, those opportunities are soliciting HVAC installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement services; chiller and compressor equipment; boiler replacements; and related commercial building systems work. One representative opportunity is the City of Bartow, Florida ITB 26-22 for HVAC installation, repairs, and emergency services across municipal facilities (due August 5, 2026); another is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017658 for preventative maintenance and diagnostic service of HVAC and refrigeration equipment at Rio Grande State Center in Harlingen (due July 31, 2026). Neither reflects ice-melting procurement.

The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic coding error in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities, or a divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work solicitations are actually capturing. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and New Jersey across city, county, school district, and state agency buyers. Without genuine recent opportunities aligned to ice-melting devices, this code shows little relevant market activity for business development pursuit at this time.
