UNSPSC 24110000: Containers and storage

UNSPSC 24110000 Containers and storage is a Family code encompassing the supply of storage vessels, bins, and holding equipment that state and local governments procure for operational, maintenance, and utility purposes. Recent solicitations show procurement officers buying chlorine gas cylinders for municipal pools, disposable food service supplies for school nutrition programs, metal tub-style containers for military recycling operations, cook-chill bags for correctional food service, sandbags for flood control, portable welding gas cylinders for school career-technical programs, and trash container repair and maintenance services. The code spans diverse issuing bodies: municipalities (City of Pittsburgh, City of Peoria), counties (Pasco County, Williamson County), school districts (Meriden Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Nebo School District, San Antonio Independent School District), state procurement offices (State of Connecticut, State of Utah), correctional agencies (Connecticut Department of Correction), and special-purpose districts (Kiski Valley Water Pollution Control Authority). Repeat buyers include the State of Utah Division of Purchasing, which has issued at least two solicitations under this code in the past six months.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Massachusetts. Representative current opportunities include the City of Pittsburgh's IFB for chlorine gas cylinders (150-pound containers, AWWA B301 specification, bids due August 14, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for janitorial and operational supplies ($765,679.84 estimated value, bids due July 24, 2026), the State of Utah Division of Purchasing's IFB for metal tub-style containers for the Utah Army National Guard (30-yard, 15-yard, and 40-yard capacity units, bids due March 10, 2026), Meriden Public Schools' RFP for food service paper goods and disposable products ($210,000 anticipated value, proposals due July 16, 2026), the State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services' competitive bid for cook-chill bags for the Department of Correction (bids due June 1, 2026), and Nebo School District's RFP for portable gas cylinder leasing and supply for welding programs across seven high schools (proposals due May 28, 2026). Several jurisdictions have also posted vendor networking events and reverse trade shows designed to familiarize suppliers with procurement processes rather than solicit specific goods.
