UNSPSC 23152920: Container filling machine

A container filling machine is packaging machinery to fill the product into containers and bins.

UNSPSC 23152920 Container filling machine is a Commodity code covering consumable supplies and replacement products for machinery used in packaging and containerization operations. The City of Philadelphia's August 2026 RFQ for ISC Machine Stretch Film illustrates the scope: the code captures replacement film, belts, rollers, and similar operational consumables—not the machines themselves—that state and local facilities procure on an ongoing basis to keep packaging and filling equipment running. These purchases typically originate from municipal departments managing warehousing, distribution centers, or equipment-intensive operations; they are usually low-dollar micro-purchases or requirements contracts structured to cover routine replenishment needs. Issuing bodies under this code are predominantly city and county purchasing offices handling repetitive operational supply needs rather than major capital equipment acquisitions.

The Philadelphia opportunity represents the geographic and activity profile currently visible under the code. The City of Philadelphia issued an RFQ with an August 13, 2026 response date and a capped contract value of $45,000 annually for stretch film products meeting ISC machinery specifications, awarded as a Requirements contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The procurement was structured as a micro-purchase requiring electronic submission through the PHLContracts platform, executed Consent and Authorization forms, and Local Business Entity certification confirmation, with payment upon delivery and City approval. Recent state and local opportunities under this code remain sparse; the Philadelphia stretch-film solicitation is the primary recent signal of activity.
