UNSPSC 48101715: Ice shaver machines or accessories

UNSPSC 48101715 Ice shaver machines or accessories (Commodity) covers the purchase and installation of commercial ice machines and associated storage bins that state and local governments source for operational facilities including correctional institutions, senior centers, schools, and administrative buildings. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring specific branded units—primarily Manitowoc and Scotsman ice makers paired with commercial-grade storage bins—either as one-time purchases for facility upgrades or as standing agreements to replenish equipment across multiple locations. The scope encompasses not only the equipment itself but also delivery, installation, haul-away of existing units, and in some cases ongoing repair and preventive maintenance services bundled with equipment replacement. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, county governments, independent school districts, and city procurement offices, with school nutrition departments and correctional facility operations representing the primary end users.

Georgia, Illinois, and Texas dominate recent activity under the code. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's RFQ posted June 25, 2026 (due July 9) for purchase and installation of a Manitowoc ice bin and Indigo NXT ice maker at a senior center in Lawrenceville; the Illinois Department of Corrections small purchase posted March 11, 2026 (due March 18) for five Manitowoc ice machines with storage bins under a Blanket Order Agreement framework; the City of Philadelphia's micro purchase posted March 25, 2026 (due April 8) for ice machines and components with a maximum contract value of $43,000; and a broader commercial kitchen equipment maintenance and repair RFP from Atlanta Public Schools posted April 23, 2026 (due May 20) that included ice machines as one of eight service categories. Response requirements consistently include proof of manufacturer certifications, references from prior similar installations, commercial general liability insurance with limits typically at $1 million to $2 million, and compliance with state prompt payment acts and federal work authorization programs.
