UNSPSC 56101526: Fridge bar

UNSPSC 56101526 Fridge bar, a Commodity code, names a narrow product category that state and local governments rarely procure under this specific designation. Recent solicitations tagged to this code overwhelmingly involve purchase or rental of full-size refrigerators, freezers, microwave ovens, ranges, dishwashers, and related kitchen appliances for government facilities — not fridge bars or beverage coolers. The City of Philadelphia has posted multiple micro-purchase bids for individual refrigerators (Solicitations B2727545, B2727543, B2627022, B2627020), each with ceilings near $41,000 to $43,000 and 365-day terms. Other jurisdictions soliciting under this code or closely related appliance categories include school districts (Muskegon Public Schools, Newaygo Public Schools, University of Wisconsin-Madison), county governments (Hillsborough County, Escambia County), state agencies (Texas A&M University System, State of Georgia, Middle Georgia State University), and municipal authorities (City of Tucson, Events DC). The solicitations span food-service equipment, residence-hall furnishings, animal-shelter facility upgrades, and evidence-storage infrastructure. One Federal-level solicitation (State of California Department of General Services) appears misaligned with the code name but is included in the source data.

Procurement activity clusters in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Florida (Hillsborough County, Escambia County, Tucson), Michigan (Muskegon, Newaygo, Wisconsin), Texas (Texas A&M), and Georgia (Middle Georgia State University, State of Georgia). Most opportunities are posted as IFBs, RFQs, or RFPs with response windows of two to four weeks. Philadelphia's multiple micro-purchase bids (due July 17, 2026) target specific appliance models with firm pricing and FOB delivery. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's ITQ-26-00290 (due June 18, 2026) sought nine appliances totaling $41,183.79 for fire stations. Muskegon Public Schools' RFP (due April 17, 2026) solicited supply and installation of two walk-in cooler/freezer units for a high school. Escambia County reissued a walk-in freezer replacement ITQ twice (March 2026). Newaygo Public Schools sought portable walk-in refrigeration and freezer rentals (April 1, 2026) for a summer food-service program. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) is a cooperative purchasing initiative for law enforcement equipment and appears unrelated to the fridge-bar code name. The code's practical scope covers standard kitchen and food-service appliances at mid-range price points; fridge-bar-specific demand is not evident in recent filings.
