UNSPSC 24102002: Bin handlers

UNSPSC 24102002 Bin handlers (Commodity) represents storage and material-handling equipment that state and local governments procure for warehouse, office, and facility operations. Recent opportunities show the code being used primarily for metal shelving units and related storage fixtures—open-style shelf systems with specified dimensions, load capacities, and finishes ordered by courts, intake facilities, warehouses, and administrative departments. The issuing bodies include cities (Philadelphia, Phoenix), counties (Chatham County, Broward County), and state institutions (Middle Georgia State University), with Philadelphia appearing twice in the recent record for shelving and general supplies procurement under micro-purchase vehicles.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Chatham County, Georgia solicited 71 metal shelving units for the Clerk of Superior Court with a sealed-bid IFB due April 2, 2026, requiring 30% M/WBE participation and $1 million general liability coverage. Philadelphia issued micro-purchase solicitations (B2727501 for shelving due July 24, 2026, and B2627231 for general intake-site supplies due June 2, 2026) capped at $45,000 and under $40,000 respectively, with LBE preference eligibility and FOB Destination delivery. The City of Phoenix solicited warehouse shelving for a five-year contract with an IFB due June 1, 2026 (later extended to October 18, 2022 per addendum). Broward County's April 2026 competitive solicitation for Everpure data storage (PNC2131219B1) appears miscoded to this category—it covers enterprise IT infrastructure, not bin handlers or shelving. Middle Georgia State University's March 2026 eRFQ for food service equipment (58300ERFQ0000016112026) also diverges from the code's nominal scope. Where coding aligns with actual procurement, term lengths range from 365 days (Philadelphia) to five years (Phoenix), with delivery typically FOB Destination and minimum insurance requirements of $500,000 general liability per occurrence.
