UNSPSC 41103011: General purpose refrigerators or refrigerator freezers

UNSPSC 41103011 General purpose refrigerators or refrigerator freezers is a Commodity code that captures the purchase and installation of walk-in and reach-in cold storage equipment—freezers, refrigerators, coolers, and integrated refrigeration systems—by state agencies, counties, school districts, detention facilities, and higher education institutions. State and local buyers use this code for both standalone equipment procurement and turnkey installation of prefabricated or custom refrigeration systems, including replacement and renovation of existing cold storage infrastructure.

Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Sacramento County, California; Pinellas County, Florida; Richmond County, Georgia), state agencies and departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of California), school districts (Laredo ISD, Houghton Lake Community Schools in Michigan, Hephzibah Middle School in Georgia), and special-purpose facilities (detention centers, state supported living centers, community centers, law enforcement evidence units). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple recent solicitations for refrigerated storage containers at individual prison units. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and California, with additional recent activity in Michigan and Minnesota. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed bid for a walk-in freezer replacement and installation at the Sheriff's Office (BL109-26, bids due August 7, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's competitive bids for refrigerated storage containers at the Kyle Unit, Bell Unit, Willacy County State Jail, Lindsey State Jail, and Bridgeport Unit (multiple ITW solicitations, July–August 2026); Houghton Lake Community Schools' request for proposals for walk-in freezer replacement at Collins Elementary (due May 22, 2026); and Richmond County Board of Education's RFP for an 18-foot by 10-foot by 8-foot prefabricated walk-in freezer system at Hephzibah Middle School (due May 27, 2026). Procurement methods include RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITQs, with response windows typically two to six weeks and mandatory pre-bid or site-visit attendance frequently required. Specifications often name preferred brands (Heatcraft, Amerikooler, Dalton) but allow equivalent substitutes, and pricing typically includes delivery, installation, and freight on a firm, fixed basis with payment terms net 30 to net 45 days.
