UNSPSC 41103024: Cold traps

UNSPSC 41103024 Cold traps (Commodity) describes refrigeration equipment and temperature control devices procured by state and local governments for specialized storage applications including evidence preservation, medical pharmacy operations, vaccine storage, and water quality monitoring. The code shows limited recent activity with minimal alignment between the nominal commodity description and the actual work being solicited. Recent opportunities include countertop medical pharmacy refrigerators with alarm and data-logging capabilities (Illinois Department of Corrections), medical-grade vaccine refrigeration and data logger systems distributed across correctional facilities (Illinois Department of Corrections), and emergency freezer and refrigerator truck rentals for evidence storage (City of Tucson). State and local issuing bodies using this code include state departments (Illinois Department of Corrections, Texas General Land Office), cities (City of Tucson, City of Madison), and regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Sourcewell). However, the recent opportunities block contains multiple solicitations unrelated to cold traps — including roof replacement, classroom furniture, beach water sampling, and law enforcement equipment — indicating substantial miscoding or minimal genuine activity under this commodity code.

Geographic activity includes Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Minnesota based on recent notices. The Illinois Department of Corrections posted two relevant medical refrigeration procurements in May 2026 (IFB 26426DOCCENTOB52227 for medical-grade refrigeration and vaccine loggers with delivery by June 30, 2026, and RFB 26426DOCGRANTB52493 for 28 countertop pharmacy refrigerators due May 18, 2026); the City of Tucson issued RFQ 250119 for emergency refrigerator and freezer truck rentals in February 2026; and the Texas General Land Office issued IFB 7643-LP in June 2026 for water sample collection and analysis under the Beach Watch Program. The code shows sparse recent procurement signals and does not support a strong pipeline for cold trap equipment specifically — activity appears concentrated in adjacent refrigeration and temperature-control equipment rather than thermal traps as a distinct commodity.
