UNSPSC 23152900: Packaging machinery

UNSPSC 23152900 Packaging machinery is a Class code encompassing consumable supplies and equipment used in packaging operations, including stretch film and related materials for industrial packaging systems. State and local governments procure these products primarily as operational supplies to support their own packaging, shipping, and inventory management functions. The City of Philadelphia's recent micro purchase for ISC Machine Stretch Film demonstrates the code's scope: specification-driven procurement of performance-rated consumables for existing machinery, structured as a Requirements contract with annual price adjustments and firm pricing over the contract term. Issuing bodies under this code span municipal purchasing offices, with Philadelphia representing the documented recent activity.

The code shows limited recent documented activity in state and local procurement. Philadelphia's August 2026 RFQ for ISC Machine Stretch Film, due August 13, 2026, represents the most recent opportunity on record—a micro purchase with a $45,000 annual cap, FOB Destination, requiring executed Consent and Authorization forms and local business entity certification eligibility. Vendors must carry workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits and general liability coverage of $500,000 per occurrence. Payment is electronic upon delivery and City approval, with contract pricing indexed annually to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers from January 1, 2020.
