UNSPSC 41103008: Refrigerated cooling modules

UNSPSC 41103008 Refrigerated cooling modules is a Commodity code that encompasses medical-grade refrigeration equipment and emergency temperature-controlled storage solutions procured by state corrections departments, municipal police units, and public health agencies. State and local buyers under this code acquire countertop pharmacy refrigerators with alarm and data-logging capability, vaccine storage units with dual-channel temperature monitors, portable freezer and refrigerator units for evidence storage, and emergency standby refrigerated trucking services—equipment designed to maintain precise temperature ranges (typically 2C to 8C for pharmaceuticals, below 10°F for freezer applications, 36–46°F for refrigerated storage) and to include backup power, humidity monitoring, and comprehensive alarm systems for high-stakes medical and forensic applications.

The Illinois Department of Corrections is the dominant repeat buyer in recent activity, soliciting medical-grade refrigeration units and vaccine data loggers across 26 correctional facilities and countertop pharmacy refrigerators with alarms in May 2026 (IFB No. 26-426DOC-CENTO-B-52227 and Solicitation 26426DOCGRANTB52493). The City of Tucson Police Department has issued an RFQ for emergency freezer and refrigerator semi-truck rentals (RFQ No. 250119, due June 20, 2025) to support evidence storage. Geographic activity centers on Illinois, with secondary activity in Arizona; the code shows limited recent transaction density overall, with no more than one solicitation per issuing body in the visible window. Representative specifications include 23 cubic-foot pharmacy refrigerators maintaining 2C to 8C with casters and one-year warranty (IDOC, May 2026), 4.5 cubic-foot countertop units with digital temperature control, digital humidity display, alarm functions, and 240-hour backup battery (IDOC, bid due May 18, 2026, 28 units under $50,000), and refrigerated trucks available 24/7 with 18-hour mobilization on an as-needed emergency standby basis capped at $100,000 total (Tucson, RFQ 250119).
