UNSPSC 40151607: Refrigerant compressors

UNSPSC 40151607 Refrigerant compressors is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification show limited direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. State and local governments are actually procuring refrigerant compressor maintenance, repair, and testing services rather than the compressors themselves. The work includes preventive maintenance on existing compressor units, emergency repairs, refrigerant handling and system testing, replacement parts and components (seals, belts, filters), and breathing-air system certification. Issuing bodies span county governments (Orange County, Marion County, Crisp County in Georgia), municipal fire departments (Indianapolis Fire Department), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and county service cooperatives (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties). The recent solicitations indicate a mix of direct-service contracts and catalog discount arrangements rather than equipment procurement.

Recent activity appears primarily in California, Georgia, Indiana, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner issuing competitive bids for Powerex SEQ200740HPAJ compressor maintenance (IFB 0603002501MB2, due April 23, 2026, with an initial three-year term and optional two-year renewals) requiring two scheduled preventive maintenance visits annually, on-site and phone technical support with 48-hour response times, and manufacturer-trained technicians; the City of Indianapolis and Marion County Purchasing Division requesting bids for a term agreement covering air compressor and cascade system maintenance and testing services for the Indianapolis Fire Department (RFB-15IFD-603, due September 24, 2026, passed) with mandatory MBE-WBE-VBE-DOBE participation requirements of 15%, 8%, 3%, and 1% respectively; and Hillsborough County Public Schools requesting proposals for school bus air-conditioning maintenance and repair services (RFP 26286RFQDST, due August 5, 2026) under a Small Business Encouragement Program with a 20% subcontracting reinvestment goal to SBEP-certified vendors. Crisp County, Georgia solicited a kitchen parts catalog discount (B-2716LM, due October 22, 2026, through November 30, 2027), though the connection to refrigerant compressors is unclear from the available description.
