NIGP 96729: Container Manufacturing Services (Boxes, Bottles, Bags, Cans, Pouches, etc.)

NIGP 96729 Container Manufacturing Services (Boxes, Bottles, Bags, Cans, Pouches, Etc.) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure custom-manufactured containers for operational and event use. Recent activity shows municipalities buying corrugated kraft trash boxes—specifically 18x18x36-inch units for city events, parades, and outdoor activities—through RFQ. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city government procurement offices. Vendors must comply with state business licensing, federal and state law, E-Verify requirements, proof of insurance, and local ethics and records laws; pricing submissions typically include all shipping, handling, and freight charges on an FOB Destination basis, with quoted prices held valid for a minimum of 60 days and payment issued approximately 30 days after receipt and acceptance of materials.

The City of Tampa, Florida has posted multiple RFQs under this code in recent months. The most recent solicitation (RFQ 26P00347, posted June 26, 2026, due May 29, 2026) is a re-quote for 300 units of SL Trash Boxes (Kraft) managed by the Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management department. An earlier solicitation (RFQ 26P00301, posted May 22, 2026) requested the same product and quantity. Both solicitations specify electronic submission through the OpenGov system and reserve the city's right to adjust quantities without penalty, award by line item or aggregate total, and cancel if funds become unavailable. Geographic activity in the recent-opportunities block is limited to Florida.
