UNSPSC 41103007: Chilling units or cold water circulators

UNSPSC 41103007 Chilling units or cold water circulators is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure refrigeration and cooling equipment for medical, evidence storage, water quality, and facility management applications. Recent solicitations show demand for specialized medical-grade pharmacy refrigerators with temperature control and alarm systems, portable vaccine and data logging refrigeration units, emergency freezer and refrigerator truck rentals for evidence storage, and engineered water circulation systems for lakes and reservoirs. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and wildlife resources, city police departments and municipal engineering offices, cooperative purchasing consortia, and state purchasing divisions. The activity spans specialized medical refrigeration (Illinois Department of Corrections seeking countertop and portable units across 26 facilities; refrigerator truck rentals for police evidence units), water quality and environmental applications (State of Utah procuring an off-grid solar-powered lake circulator; Texas General Land Office sampling programs), and facility infrastructure (municipal roof and building systems).

Geographic concentration is evident in the upper Midwest and Southwest, with recent activity in Illinois, Utah, Texas, Wisconsin, and Arizona. Representative opportunities include the Illinois Department of Corrections' May 2026 procurement of 28 countertop medical pharmacy refrigerators with digital temperature control, data logging, and multi-function alarms due by June 30, 2026 (IFB 26426DOCGRANTB52493); the State of Utah Division of Purchasing's May 2026 IFB for a solar-powered Matt Warner Reservoir water circulator with delivery and installation by June 30, 2026, budgeted at $66,800 (NC2672); and the City of Tucson Police Department's RFQ for emergency freezer and refrigerator truck rentals supporting evidence storage with 18-hour mobilization capability (250119). The Illinois Department of Corrections also issued a May 2026 IFB for medical-grade refrigeration units and vaccine data loggers across 26 statewide correctional facilities (26426DOCCENTOB52227). Vendors in this space should expect technical specifications tied to temperature precision, alarm and monitoring systems, data logging capabilities, and manufacturer warranty requirements; procurement vehicles include traditional IFB and RFQ formats with firm deadlines and rapid delivery timelines (often 30–60 days).
