UNSPSC 24102101: Cargo handling equipment

UNSPSC 24102101 Cargo handling equipment is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices use to tag material-handling and logistics services, though recent solicitation activity shows limited direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies (due July 24, 2026), the State of Nevada Purchasing Division solicited battery backup systems on behalf of the Nevada Department of Human Services (quote deadline May 27, 2026), and the California Department of Water Resources issued an IFB for container transport services (due May 8, 2026). Of these three opportunities, only the California DWR container transport work — handling loading, unloading, and movement of shipping containers filled with flood mitigation supplies across state locations — falls within genuine cargo handling scope; the other two solicitations appear to have been mistagged under this code and address consumable supplies and backup power systems rather than equipment or logistics operations.

Recent activity spans three states (California, Florida, Nevada) but shows minimal concentration under this code. The container transport opportunity from the California Department of Water Resources represents the only substantive recent solicitation aligned with cargo handling work, with on-demand side-lifting and roll-off services across multiple state locations. The absence of additional representative opportunities suggests this Commodity code experiences light recent activity in state and local procurement, or that issuing bodies are tagging cargo handling and logistics work under alternative codes. Firms pursuing logistics services should monitor activity directly through state purchasing portals rather than rely on consistent coding in this category.
