UNSPSC 41103001: Refrigerated cooling plate probes

UNSPSC 41103001 Refrigerated cooling plate probes (Commodity) encompasses refrigeration equipment maintenance, repair, and supply services that state and local governments procure to keep commercial foodservice, institutional, and scientific cooling systems operational. Recent state and local solicitations show issuing bodies buying ice maker sanitation services, refrigeration repair and parts, HVAC/R equipment and supplies, and refrigerant cylinder exchange—a broader operational and maintenance scope than the code name alone suggests. Issuing bodies range from school districts to county governments, transit authorities, and universities; Pinellas County School District in Florida, Galveston County in Texas, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison appear in recent postings. The work divides between routine preventive maintenance (ice maker cleaning at scale), emergency or scheduled repairs (commercial refrigeration and foodservice equipment), and supply chain support (refrigerant delivery, HVAC/R parts availability). School districts and county facilities departments represent steady demand for these services across the institutional footprint.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Texas. Pinellas County Schools issued RFQ 26JG006 for ice maker cleaning and sanitation services at 121 school locations with a response deadline of April 30, 2026 and an estimated contract value of approximately $45,000 for the initial one-year term. Galveston County issued an RFP for a Master Supply Agreement covering HVAC/R equipment, parts, and supplies from 86 approved manufacturers, due April 30, 2026. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority (Trinity Metro) posted IFB 26T023 for refrigerant supply and cylinder exchange services (R-134a and R-407c) with a bid deadline of April 30, 2026. The University of Wisconsin-Madison solicited refrigeration repair services and foodservice equipment repair with parts (RFB 2026-UWMSN-01337-RFB) and amended the bid opening to July 15, 2026. Temple Independent School District in Texas solicited kitchen equipment including walk-in coolers, freezers, and ice machines (RFP-008-26) due March 25, 2026, with delivery required by October 2026. These opportunities reflect demand across school districts, county operations, transit authorities, and higher education.
