UNSPSC 24102402: Stationary waste compactor

A machine that compacts refuse into a detachable container at the site of generation

UNSPSC 24102402 Stationary waste compactor (Commodity) covers on-call maintenance, repair, and parts supply for compactors deployed in municipal and county facilities, as well as the procurement of new compactor equipment and ancillary waste-processing systems. State and local buyers under this code span county departments of public works, city environmental services divisions, solid waste management authorities, school districts, and regional waste facilities operating across the Southeast, Midwest, and Texas. Recent solicitations show a split between maintenance-and-repair contracts (typically structured as on-call or as-needed agreements with hourly labor rates and material markups) and capital equipment purchases (new or used compactors, densifiers, and shredders sourced through RFP or IFB). Maintenance work dominates the contract activity in the near term, with vendors expected to respond within 24–72 hours for emergency repairs and to meet stringent technical requirements around hydraulic systems, electrical components, and manufacturer-specification compliance.

Cuyahoga County, Ohio, solicited preventative maintenance and repair services for ten compactor, baler, and dumper machines across six facilities under an Informal RFB (6921 and 6933) with a two-year, $200,000 not-to-exceed contract.
