UNSPSC 24102008: Portable reel holders

UNSPSC 24102008 Portable reel holders (Commodity) covers shelving and storage equipment that state and local governments procure for warehouse, office, intake facility, and institutional use. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that jurisdictions are purchasing metal shelving units, general storage shelving, and warehouse shelving systems—typically open-style units with multiple shelf levels, specific load capacities, and standard finishes for document storage, evidence management, intake processing, and supply inventory. The code attracts competitive bids from cities, counties, and public universities, with issuing bodies including Philadelphia, Phoenix, Chatham County, and Middle Georgia State University. Procurement structures vary: Philadelphia issues micro-purchase RFQs for smaller shelving needs on 365-day contracts with pricing caps under $45,000; larger county and city procurements such as Chatham County's purchase and installation of 71 metal shelving units use sealed bid IFB processes with firm lump-sum pricing, installation timelines, and warranty requirements; Phoenix conducts longer-term warehouse shelving procurements on five-year contracts through formal IFB.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with solicitations from Georgia (Chatham County, Middle Georgia State University) and Florida, alongside municipal procurements from Philadelphia and Phoenix. Representative opportunities include Chatham County's sealed bid for purchase and installation of 71 metal shelving units (42 inches by 30 inches by 87 inches, seven-shelf capacity) due April 2, 2026, with a 30% combined Minority/Woman Business Enterprise participation goal and standard insurance and compliance requirements; Philadelphia's micro-purchase RFQ B2727501 for shelving with quotes due July 24, 2026, capped at $45,000 with LBE eligibility but no set-aside; and the City of Phoenix's IFB for five-year warehouse shelving services with an initial offer deadline of June 1, 2026 (later extended to October 18, 2022 per addendum). Delivery FOB destination, insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability, and compliance with local wage and nondiscrimination requirements are standard across these solicitations.
