UNSPSC 24102505: Ash packing machine

A machine which is used for filling and packing of fly ashes.

UNSPSC 24102505 Ash packing machine (Commodity) shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes equipment for packaging ash, yet the three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve CO2 tank rental and refill services for county aquatic facilities and underground storage tank removal for a municipal fire station—neither of which relates to ash handling or packing machinery. Collier County, Florida has posted two separate Quick Quote solicitations for CO2 rental, refill, and delivery supporting pool maintenance at six county parks, and the City of Meriden, Connecticut has issued an ITB for removal and decontamination of an underground storage tank at a fire station. The mismatch between the code's intended commodity and the actual work being solicited suggests either a consistent tagging error in the jurisdiction procurement systems or that this code is not being used for its stated purpose in state and local contracting.

The geographic activity visible under this code is limited to Florida and Connecticut, with Collier County appearing twice for identical CO2 services in the June and October 2026 Quick Quote cycles. The City of Meriden's tank removal ITB (B027-12) required bids by September 9, 2026, with a local-vendor preference and Connecticut prevailing wage. No representative solicitations for ash packing machinery or related equipment have appeared in recent state and local notices under this code.
