UNSPSC 52141507: Domestic upright freezers

UNSPSC 52141507 Domestic upright freezers is a Commodity code covering refrigeration equipment — chiefly upright and top-freezer refrigerators, combination microwave-refrigerator units, and walk-in freezer systems — that state and local governments procure for student housing, residential facilities, fire stations, animal welfare centers, and general municipal operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as a catch-all for refrigeration appliances across multiple building types and operational contexts, not strictly upright models. Universities, county housing authorities, city procurement departments, and special districts are the primary issuing bodies, with university student housing and municipal facilities accounting for the bulk of recent activity. The work involves supply, delivery, and installation of refrigeration equipment meeting specific model and capacity requirements, often bundled with removal of existing units and site preparation.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and jurisdictions with notable concentration in Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania. The University of Houston posted RFP-730-UofH-3142 on September 15, 2026, seeking 1,632 MicroFridge combination units for three residence halls with a response deadline of October 7, 2026; the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority issued an IFB for appliance supply and delivery to Sykes Midrise Apartments in Virginia with a September 24, 2026 deadline; Escambia County's Department of Animal Welfare in Florida posted an ITQ for walk-in freezer removal and replacement at its Animal Welfare and Adoption Center in Pensacola, with a March 9, 2026 deadline; and the City of Philadelphia issued multiple micro-purchase IFBs for individual refrigerators and combinations of appliances in April and July 2026 with ceiling values near $41,000 to $43,000 each. Texas A&M University System and Hillsborough County in Florida also posted appliance solicitations in June and July 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026, with participation available to multiple counties and public entities across Washington and beyond, though this entry appears misaligned with the freezer code's scope.
