UNSPSC 48102105: Glass chilling equipment

UNSPSC 48102105 Glass chilling equipment is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, encompasses a broader scope of commercial kitchen refrigeration and cooling equipment than the code name alone suggests. Northside Independent School District's May 2026 IFB for kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services includes walk-in coolers and freezers alongside ranges, steamers, ovens, dishwashers, and associated repair services across all district locations. The issuing bodies under this code appear to be primarily large public school districts managing multi-site food service operations, where glass chilling equipment functions as part of a comprehensive kitchen infrastructure procurement rather than as an isolated product category.

Northside Independent School District, the fourth largest public school system in Texas, posted IFB 2026078 on May 5, 2026 with a response deadline of May 28, 2026 at 11:00 AM Central Time, requiring electronic submission through the Bonfire Portal. The contract term runs one year with options for two additional one-year renewals, and awarded vendors must maintain online catalogs accessible to all district campuses, provide three non-NISD references, and furnish certificates of insurance with Net 30 payment terms. NISD is a member of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance, meaning successful bids may be adopted by other CTPA member districts at equivalent or better pricing, potentially extending geographic reach across Texas. No specific budget or award value was disclosed, and the solicitation replaces an expiring contract, making vendor response mandatory to maintain ongoing business with the district.
