UNSPSC 24102203: Bag sealing tools or equipment

UNSPSC 24102203 Bag sealing tools or equipment, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The single tracked opportunity from the City of Richardson solicits supply of recycle and trash bags themselves—polyethylene bags in specified sizes, colors, and quantities with wire-tie, flap, or drawstring closure options—rather than the equipment or tools used to seal bags during manufacturing or industrial operations. The bags must meet ASTM standards for film thickness, dart impact strength, slip coefficient, and drop resistance, and the City prefers post-consumer recycled content of 10–20 percent. This is a commodity supply solicitation, not procurement of bag sealing equipment.

The City of Richardson issued RFQ 70526 on May 21, 2026, with proposals due June 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, and scheduled a pre-proposal conference for May 28, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time via Zoom. Respondents must demonstrate five years' minimum experience supplying recycle and trash bags to similarly sized municipalities and provide three references from jurisdictions served within the past three years. The initial contract term runs one year from award with four optional one-year extensions. Evaluation is weighted 30 points for price, 30 for qualifications and experience, 30 for compliance and added value, and 10 for reputation and references. Submissions are accepted only through Bonfire Hub or direct delivery to the City of Richardson Purchasing Manager; late submissions are not accepted. Respondents with ten or more full-time employees must certify Texas compliance with boycott prohibitions if the contract value exceeds $100,000. The code shows little relevant recent activity for actual bag sealing equipment procurement within state and local government.
