UNSPSC 23152904: Packaging hoppers

UNSPSC 23152904 Packaging hoppers is a Commodity code that spans small-scale material-handling containers and specialty boxes for collection, storage, and waste management. State and local governments procure corrugated and rigid boxes in specified dimensions, specialty collection containers, and related packaging items under this code. Issuing bodies include city procurement departments—particularly Philadelphia's Office of the Procurement Department, which has issued three micro purchases in the past two months—and school districts acquiring custodial and collection supplies. The work is straightforward goods procurement with firm, fixed pricing; most opportunities are micro purchases awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, either as a whole or by line item.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Pennsylvania and Texas. Philadelphia issued corrugated trash boxes (Solicitation B2728008, due September 25, 2026, micro purchase under IFB), boxes measuring 17 1/4" × 11 1/4" × 12" (Solicitation B2727864, due September 9, 2026, IFB), and a special collections micro purchase (Solicitation B2728059, due October 8, 2026). Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued an RFP for custodial supplies (RFP 2026-071, due June 4, 2026) replacing an expiring contract. Philadelphia's recent procurements cap quotations at $45,000, adjusted annually by CPI-U from January 1, 2020, require electronic submission through PHLContracts, and mandate General Liability, Workers' Compensation, and Automobile Liability insurance. Vendors must submit signed Consent and Authorization Agreements and firm pricing valid for 60 days; no deliveries commence until formal department notification. Philadelphia vendors must hold Philadelphia business tax identification and comply with local wage, net profits, and business income and receipts taxes.
