UNSPSC 52141508: Domestic chest freezers

UNSPSC 52141508 Domestic chest freezers is a Commodity code covering refrigeration and freezing equipment that state and local governments procure for operational facilities, residential housing, and public services. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for walk-in freezer systems, residential refrigerators and combination microwave-refrigerator units, ice machines, and kitchen appliances for emergency services and institutional settings. The code encompasses both single equipment replacements and bulk appliance procurement tied to facility maintenance, renovation, or outfitting programs. Issuing bodies span university housing departments, county animal welfare facilities, municipal procurement offices, fire rescue departments, and housing authorities—reflecting a diverse mix of public-sector users across institutional, public safety, and social services.

Recent activity includes Escambia County Department of Animal Welfare's ITQ for walk-in freezer removal and replacement at its animal shelter in Pensacola, Florida (response due March 9, 2026); the University of Houston's RFP for 1,632 combination microwave-refrigerator units across three residence halls (due October 7, 2026); Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's competitive quote for nine kitchen and laundry appliances including two refrigerator units for fire stations in Tampa, Florida (due June 18, 2026); and the City of Philadelphia's multiple micro-purchase IFBs for individual refrigerators and combined kitchen appliances (May–July 2026). Geographic concentration appears in Florida and Texas, with additional activity in Virginia and Pennsylvania. The Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority also solicited appliances for Sykes Midrise Apartments via sealed bid (due September 24, 2026), though specific freezer or refrigerator line items were not detailed in available documentation.
