UNSPSC 48101715: Ice shaver machines or accessories

UNSPSC 48101715 Ice shaver machines or accessories (Commodity) encompasses ice machines, ice storage bins, and associated equipment that state and local governments procure for correctional facilities, schools, parks, community centers, municipal buildings, and fire stations. Recent solicitations reveal a market focused on commercial-grade ice production and storage equipment rather than consumer shaving machines; typical specifications include ice makers producing 525 to 6,000 pounds daily, stainless steel storage bins with polyurethane or polystyrene insulation, and equipment certified to UL or NSF standards. State corrections departments, large school districts, county parks and recreation, and municipal fire and emergency services drive the bulk of purchasing activity. Issuing bodies span Texas state procurement (the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division), Illinois Department of Corrections, multi-site school districts (Hillsborough County, Atlanta Public Schools, Northside Independent School District), and local governments (City of Fort Worth, Gwinnett County). Work includes outright equipment purchases with installation, preventive maintenance and emergency repair contracts, and rental agreements on an as-needed basis.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with Texas showing the heaviest recent volume. Representative solicitations include the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-27-740A1 for 12 ice bins and 2 standalone ice machines across correctional facilities statewide (due November 3, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26147-ITB-DST for large food service equipment delivery under USDA nutrition funding (updated Notice of Intent to Award June 30, 2026); Gwinnett County's IWQ 137909 for ice machine purchase and installation at Lenora Park Community Center (due September 9, 2026); the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0270 for ice machine rental, maintenance, and emergency repair services across over 100 municipal locations (due September 3, 2026); and Atlanta Public Schools' procurement for commercial kitchen equipment repair and preventive maintenance including ice machines on an as-needed basis (proposals due May 20, 2026). Contracts typically require NSF or ETL certification, 24/7 emergency response capability for maintenance agreements, compliance with prevailing wage where applicable, and detailed insurance coverage including general liability with $2 million aggregate and workers' compensation.
