UNSPSC 52152012: Ice trays

UNSPSC 52152012 Ice trays is a Commodity code that encompasses ice machines, ice storage bins, and related refrigeration equipment for institutional and municipal use. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through solicitations for ice machine purchases, maintenance contracts, and equipment rental—not standalone ice trays as the code name alone might suggest. Recent activity shows a blend of one-time capital purchases (ice machines and bins for correctional facilities, parks, and municipal buildings), firm fixed-price delivery contracts (school districts procuring equipment for nutrition facilities), and ongoing rental-and-maintenance agreements. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, county purchasing divisions, municipal procurement offices, and school districts. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Gwinnett County (Georgia), the City of Fort Worth, the Illinois Department of Corrections, Northside Independent School District (Texas), and Atlanta Public Schools all posted opportunities under or closely aligned to this code between April and October 2026.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with recent solicitations covering statewide deployments and multi-location installations. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-27-740A1 (due November 3, 2026) sought 12 double upright ice bins and 2 standalone ice machines for statewide Texas facilities including the Department of Criminal Justice, with UL/NSF certification required and Vogt Series equipment as the reference standard. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITB 26147-ITB-DST for large food service equipment delivery across multiple school nutrition facilities, federally funded through USDA with mandatory Buy American and prevailing wage compliance. Gwinnett County posted two separate IWQ notices in June and September 2026 for ice machine purchase and installation at community facilities. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0270 (due September 3, 2026) sought ice machine maintenance and rental services across over 100 locations including 45 fire stations, with a 30% small business participation goal, requiring 10 years' ACR experience and EPA 608 certification. Logan Correctional Center (Illinois) issued a Basic Ordering Agreement quote for ice machines and bins under $50,000, with 60-day delivery required. Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026-078 covered kitchen equipment including ice machines across 132 schools and 15 support sites, with contracts available to Central Texas Purchasing Alliance members. Atlanta Public Schools solicited commercial kitchen equipment services including ice machines on an as-needed basis with multiple award authority.
