NIGP 91790: Rental of Containers

NIGP 91790 Rental Of Containers, an Item code, covers the rental and supply of specialized containers—shipping containers, roll-off waste containers, and refrigerated storage units—that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis to support operational functions. Recent solicitations show counties, cities, and municipal departments sourcing new or single-trip shipping containers for fire services, open-top roll-off metal containers for solid waste operations, and emergency refrigerated semi-truck rentals for evidence storage. The work ranges from standard Conex shipping containers with specific construction and finish requirements to custom-built roll-off containers meeting high carbon steel specifications and ANSI standards, to specialized emergency rental agreements with rapid-deployment and precise temperature-control mandates. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city solid waste and police departments, and municipal procurement offices acting independently or through cooperative purchasing arrangements.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Arizona. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00247 on April 22, 2026, seeking furnish-and-deliver of four categories of new shipping containers (20-foot and 40-foot Conex units, office containers with air conditioning, and high-cube containers with bridge fittings) with a two-year contract value of $146,685 and a May 15, 2026 response deadline. The City of Leesburg, Florida posted IFB 26-007-HG on April 13, 2026, to purchase 32 open-top roll-off metal containers in four sizes (10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards) for its Solid Waste Department, with responses due January 22, 2026 and a one-year term plus four optional renewal periods. The City of Tucson, Arizona solicited through RFP 226024 (posted February 26, 2026) for refuse and recycling container solutions in multiple sizes and materials, offered through OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing with an estimated annual volume of approximately $50 million and an anticipated $3.5 million spend over the Master Agreement term. Tucson also issued RFQ 250119 on February 11, 2026, for emergency freezer and refrigerator semi-truck rentals for the Tucson Police Department Evidence unit, with a one-year term and up to four one-year renewals and a total contract value not to exceed $100,000.
