does the code require water bottle dispensers in a plant to be gfci protected ? they are all plastic except for the compressor and cooling coil

If it is a drinking fountain:

422.52 Electric Drinking Fountains. Electric drinking fountains shall be protected with ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection.

Drinking fountains or vending machines, but if it dispenses without needing some payment system or method it is not a vending machine to the NEC. See 422.2 definition.

If the water is bottled it is not a fountain.
