NIGP 10006: Containers, Plastic (All Purpose)

NIGP 10006 Containers, Plastic (All Purpose), an Item code, covers plastic bins and storage containers that state and local governments procure for departmental operations, intake facilities, and specialized inventory management. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring standard plastic storage bins with integrated label holders and stackable designs, typically in the hundreds of units per order, sized to fit existing shelving infrastructure and warehouse environments. The code sees activity across municipal procurement offices, county government purchasing divisions, and specialized functional departments within larger jurisdictions—all operating through informal written quotations (IWQ), micro purchases, and small orders rather than full competitive sealed bids.

Philadelphia and Gwinnett County dominate recent activity under this code. Philadelphia issued a micro purchase (B2727850) for plastic bins due September 4, 2026, with a contract cap of $45,000 adjusted annually by Consumer Price Index, structured as either a Firm Limit Delivery or Requirements Contract for 365 days. Gwinnett County Financial Services Purchasing Division released an informal written quotation (PE77023NONST2026000000618) in June 2026 for 800 units of ULINE H-3053BLU Magnum Hopper Bins and 200 units of ULINE S-12417 Plastic Stackable Bins—1,000 units total—for delivery by July 10, 2026 to its Voter Registrations & Elections office. Both solicitations emphasized FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder award, and vendor certification requirements. The code shows recent activity concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast; no procurement activity under this Item code appears in the source beyond these two jurisdictions in mid-2026.
