UNSPSC 40101843: Electric furnace

A melting furnace that uses electricity to apply heat. It is generally used in melting steel, special cast iron and special steel alloys.

UNSPSC 40101843 Electric furnace is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure replacement and new gas-fired furnaces for residential, municipal, and institutional heating applications. Recent solicitations show furnace replacement as part of community development block grant housing rehabilitation programs, HVAC system overhauls at municipal facilities, and supply-only procurement of furnace components for correctional institutions. The work spans sealed-bid furnace installation with code compliance (Michigan Mechanical Code, NWAHA standards) and warranty requirements, as well as furnace supply and component procurement where installation or site services are not included.

State and local purchasing activity under this code originates from county and municipal community development departments, state correctional facilities, and county facilities management offices. The City of Jackson Community Development Department has posted multiple furnace replacement opportunities as of 2026. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Michigan and Illinois, with recent activity also in Georgia and Pennsylvania. Representative recent procurements include the City of Jackson Community Development Department's sealed-bid solicitation (2026COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT028, due July 7, 2026) for furnace and water heater replacement at 237 N Gorham Street requiring a 95% efficient gas-fired furnace installed per Michigan Mechanical Code with an 18-month warranty; and the State of Illinois Department of Corrections' basic ordering agreement for HVAC components including gas furnaces at Sheridan Correctional Center (26426DOCSHERIB52254, due May 12, 2026), a supply-and-delivery-only procurement with delivery by June 15, 2026.
