UNSPSC 24102008: Portable reel holders

UNSPSC 24102008 Portable reel holders (Commodity) is being purchased by state and local governments primarily as general-purpose shelving units and storage containers rather than as specialized reel-holding equipment. Recent solicitations show agencies buying warehouse shelving, intake-site storage racks, and hazardous-material storage containers—most of which serve organizational and operational storage needs unrelated to the code's nominal focus on portable reel holders. The issuing bodies are predominantly cities and counties, with the City of Philadelphia appearing multiple times across micro purchase solicitations for general supplies and shelving, Gwinnett County, Georgia procuring standard shelving units, Sarasota County acquiring a specialized HAZMAT storage container, and the City of Phoenix conducting a five-year warehouse shelving contract. The scope of work spans standard metal shelving with load-capacity and dimensional specifications, specialized hazardous-material storage containers with secondary containment and electrical systems, and general supplies for departmental intake operations.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Gwinnett County (Georgia) posted a shelving RFQ due October 2, 2026, the City of Philadelphia issued two micro purchase quotes for shelving and general supplies (due July 24 and June 2, 2026, respectively), Sarasota County (Florida) sought quotes for a 20-foot HAZMAT storage container due August 7, 2026 with a $50,000 bid ceiling, and the City of Phoenix released a five-year warehouse shelving IFB originally due June 1, 2026 (extended to October 18, 2022 per addendum). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with portable reel holders specifically; opportunities that do post under this code appear to be general storage and shelving procurements that may have been miscoded by issuing bodies rather than representing genuine demand for reel-holder products.
