UNSPSC 41103015: Blood bank freezers

UNSPSC 41103015 Blood bank freezers is a Commodity code covering prefabricated walk-in freezers and medical-grade blood refrigeration equipment procured by state and local government facilities. Recent opportunities show state and local agencies soliciting both replacement walk-in freezer systems for evidence and animal welfare operations and medical-grade refrigeration units specifically for blood storage. Sacramento County Sheriff's Property Warehouse posted RFB 2026RFB0061 on July 2, 2026 for a prefabricated, frost-free evidence-storage freezer kit with a July 7, 2026 response deadline, while the California State Department of State Hospitals solicited whole blood refrigeration equipment under RFB-IS-26201048 with a June 24, 2026 deadline. Issuing bodies span county sheriff and animal welfare departments, state health and hospital agencies, and city police operations. Scope varies between general-purpose evidence and specimen storage freezers and specialized blood bank refrigeration meeting medical laboratory standards. Walk-in freezer procurements typically include disassembly of existing equipment, delivery of prefabricated panels, assembly with existing components, and labor—with agencies excluding electrical work, structural engineering, and permitting. Blood refrigeration procurements emphasize temperature control precision, alarm systems, backup power, and compliance with medical equipment standards.

Recent activity concentrates in California, with the State Department of State Hospitals and Sacramento County as recent active buyers, and in Florida and Arizona, where Escambia County Department of Animal Welfare reissued walk-in freezer replacement quotes (ITQ FREEZERMAR2, March 2026) and the City of Tucson solicited emergency freezer and refrigerator truck rentals for police evidence storage (RFQ 250119, February 2026 posting with June 20, 2025 deadline). The code shows mixed activity across medical and non-medical cold storage, with state-level health and hospital departments pursuing blood-specific refrigeration and counties and cities replacing aging walk-in freezers for evidence and animal welfare use. Sourcewell's cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment (RFP 061626, May 2026) may encompass freezer or cold-storage components but appears focused on broader law enforcement equipment sourcing rather than refrigeration-specific buys.
