UNSPSC 41103026: Benchtop ice bucket or chilling container

Ice buckets and containers used for chilling specimens on the workbench

UNSPSC 41103026 Benchtop ice bucket or chilling container is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little actual procurement of benchtop ice buckets or chilling containers. Instead, the code's recent solicitations span roof replacement, classroom furniture catalogs, beach water sampling, countertop medical refrigerators, law enforcement equipment, medical-grade vaccine refrigeration units, and emergency freezer-truck rentals — none of which match the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source or that this Commodity code has fallen into disuse among state and local procurement offices, or that tagging conventions at some issuing bodies do not align with UNSPSC definitions.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include the Illinois Department of Corrections, the City of Madison, the Texas General Land Office, the City of Tucson, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, and Sourcewell. The geographic spread spans Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas, and Arizona, with multistate cooperative solicitations. Because the opportunities are unrelated to the actual product scope of the Commodity code, this code does not present a meaningful procurement signal for vendors seeking to pursue state and local business in benchtop ice buckets or chilling containers.
