This segment includes the machines, accessories, and supplies necessary for material conveyance, lifting, rotating, tilting and turning and the safekeeping of goods in a depository such as a warehouse

UNSPSC 24000000 Material Handling and Conditioning and Storage Machinery and their Accessories and Supplies is a Segment code that encompasses rental equipment for temporary events, storage racks and carts, conveyors, forklifts, and specialty material-handling systems state and local governments procure on an as-needed or contract basis. Recent solicitations show county, city, and state agencies sourcing special-event rental equipment (canopies, staging, tables, chairs, sound systems, heaters), industrial storage and shelving, industrial forklifts, machine-shop conveyors and components, and temporary ramps; issuing bodies span county governments (Orange County, California; Uintah County, Utah; Pasco County, Florida), cities (Phoenix, Tucson, Tampa, Palm Bay), transit authorities (Connecticut Department of Transportation), state agencies (Connecticut Department of Administrative Services; Utah Department of Transportation), municipal utilities, and special districts. On-call and as-needed contracts dominate the code, with fixed-term agreements running three to five years; pricing structures vary between firm fixed-price per unit, percentage discounts off catalog, hourly labor rates with parts markups, and usage-based pricing. Local vendor preferences and small-business set-asides appear frequently in California and Connecticut solicitations, with OCLSB/DVBE preferences in Orange County and MBE participation minimums in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
