UNSPSC 40141612: Expansion valves

UNSPSC 40141612 Expansion valves, a Commodity code, encompasses refrigeration system components and repair services that state and local governments procure for foodservice equipment, school bus air-conditioning systems, compressor maintenance, and municipal refrigeration infrastructure. The recent opportunities under this code reveal that issuing bodies are purchasing both discrete components (such as Quincy compressor parts and factory-authorized Scotsman refrigeration equipment) and service contracts for routine maintenance, repair, and sanitation of refrigeration systems across diverse facilities. State departments, county school districts, municipal governments, and higher-education institutions all solicit under this code, with Hillsborough County Public Schools, Pinellas County School District, the Illinois Secretary of State, and the City of Tampa appearing as recent buyers. The work spans preventive maintenance (ice maker cleaning and sanitation), corrective repair services (school bus A/C system work), parts procurement (compressor components for state facilities), and single-source acquisitions of brand-specific equipment and repair parts to maintain warranty coverage and system compatibility across municipal and educational facility portfolios.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Illinois, with a broader multi-state cooperative purchasing initiative through Sourcewell that includes Washington counties. The Illinois Secretary of State posted an RFQ on October 14, 2026, requesting compressor components for Quincy compressor repairs, due October 19, 2026, as a sole-source procurement delivering to Springfield by January 31, 2027. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an RFP for school bus air-conditioning maintenance and repair services, due August 7, 2026, requiring SBEP (Small Business Encouragement Program) participation with a minimum 20 percent reinvestment goal in certified small-business subcontractors. Pinellas County School District solicited ice maker cleaning and sanitation services via RFQ through OpenGov Procurement, due April 30, 2026, for approximately 121 school locations across multiple brands (Manitowoc, Scotsman, Ice-o-Matic) at an estimated contract value of $45,000 for the initial one-year term. The City of Tampa posted a single-source intent for Scotsman refrigeration equipment and repair parts through a factory-authorized distributor, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison issued a competitive RFB for refrigeration and foodservice equipment repair services and parts, due July 15, 2026.
