UNSPSC 43202220: Automotive heating ventilation air conditioning HVAC power module

Automotive HVAC power module

UNSPSC 43202220 Automotive heating ventilation air conditioning HVAC power module is a Commodity code that encompasses replacement and modernization of HVAC systems installed on transit vehicles, building automation system controls for HVAC equipment, and water testing services for hydronic heating and cooling loops — work substantially more specific than the code name alone suggests. The recent opportunities show state and local government buying overhaul and modernization of existing HVAC units on commuter rail fleets, pre-conditioned air units at commercial airports, building automation upgrades tied to HVAC system repairs, and contracted water treatment services for HVAC hydronic systems across multiple county locations. Issuing bodies include transit authorities (Utah Transit Authority), state transportation departments (Caltrans), municipal aviation departments (City of Dallas), and county sheriffs' departments pursuing job-order contracting for mechanical services including HVAC work. School districts also procure HVAC replacement as part of broader facility modernization, though such work typically appears under broader mechanical or construction codes rather than this commodity-specific code.

Recent activity concentrates in California (Caltrans water testing across nine counties, building automation upgrades in Inyo County), Texas (Dallas Love Field pre-conditioned air unit removal and installation rebid with mandatory pre-bid February 5, 2026, bids due February 20, 2026), and Utah (Utah Transit Authority Bombardier Bilevel HVAC unit overhaul and modernization RFP with proposals due May 25, 2026, best-value evaluation at 70 percent technical and 30 percent price, contract term through December 31, 2030). The Caltrans water testing IFB for nine California counties (Humboldt, Shasta, Alameda, San Luis Obispo, Fresno, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Inyo, and San Joaquin) requires certified water technologists with five years documented experience, carries a mandatory 3 percent DVBE participation and 25 percent small business goal, and runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. The Dallas Love Field rebid involves removal of twenty existing Jet Bridge Mount HVAC units and installation of twenty new 30-ton pre-conditioned air units with fourteen-month contract term and two optional one-year renewals; no current BID set-asides apply as Dallas temporarily ceased enforcement as of June 26, 2025. Caltrans' Inyo County building automation upgrade (IFB 09A1089, bids due February 12, 2026) includes HVAC troubleshooting and repairs capped at $461,000 total bid with five percent small business preference and five percent DVBE incentive available.
