UNSPSC 40151600: Compressors

UNSPSC 40151600 Compressors, Class tier, encompasses industrial and facility air compressor replacement, maintenance, and overhaul work that state and local governments solicit for operations at public facilities, utilities, and special-district infrastructure. Recent opportunities show governments buying turnkey compressor replacement (removal of existing units, supply, installation, and commissioning of new equipment), preventative and corrective maintenance on installed units, and full overhaul of chiller compressor systems in HVAC plants. Work spans compressed air systems at fire stations and courthouses, refrigerated dryers at wastewater treatment facilities, centrifugal chillers at public energy plants, and specialized industrial air compression equipment at military installations and county forensic facilities. Issuing bodies include state executive agencies (Massachusetts Military Division, Maryland Administrative Office of the Courts), counties (Orange County, California), special taxing districts (Central Florida Tourism Oversight District), municipalities (City of Chelsea, Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts), and regional facilities operated by state departments. The mix reflects both routine equipment replacement at municipal infrastructure and more specialized compressor maintenance contracts requiring OEM certification and manufacturer-specific technical expertise.

Activity concentrates in Massachusetts, California, Florida, and Maryland. Representative recent opportunities include the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District's ITB for HVAC chiller overhauls at two energy plants (bids due September 30, 2026), the County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner's competitive IFB for Powerex SEQ200740HPAJ compressor preventative maintenance and repair (three-year term with optional renewals, electronic submission through the County's eProcurement Portal, 5% preference available to certified local small businesses and disabled veteran enterprises), the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Military Division's ITB for air compressor replacement at Camp Edwards (estimated contract value $30,000, bids due August 26, 2026 with mandatory site visit August 19, subject to prevailing wage and Construction Workforce Utilization Goals), and the Town of Yarmouth's RFQ for replacement of a Kaeser TF 174 refrigerated air dryer at its septage treatment facility (quotes due August 26, 2026). Massachusetts appears as a repeat buyer across military facilities and municipal jurisdictions; Orange County, California has issued multiple iterations of the same Powerex compressor maintenance solicitation.
