UNSPSC 24111500: Bags

UNSPSC 24111500 Bags is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of polyethylene, polypropylene, and specialty bags across food service, sanitation, flood control, and promotional applications. Recent solicitations show school districts, cities, counties, and state agencies buying trash and recycling bags, food-service bags (cook-chill, paper), sandbags, and promotional tote bags. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio has posted multiple RFPs for miscellaneous warehouse supplies and custodial supplies that include bag components; the City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase for paper bags in various sizes; and the City of Richardson, Texas solicited an annual requirements contract for polyethylene recycle and trash bags with an estimated annual spend of approximately $300,000. Issuing bodies span independent school districts, municipal governments, state departments, and transit authorities. The code reflects actual buying spanning food-service operations (Connecticut Department of Correction cook-chill bags), sanitation (Richardson's trash and recycle bags), emergency management (Utah's statewide sandbag cooperative), and ancillary supplies bundled into broader warehouse and custodial procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Northside ISD, Klein ISD, City of Richardson), with notable recent activity also in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Connecticut, Utah, California, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Representative opportunities include the City of Richardson's April 2026 IFB for recycle and trash bags (due April 28, 2026, estimated annual value $300,000); Connecticut DAS's June 2026 competitive bid for cook-chill bags supporting correctional food service (due June 1, 2026); the State of Utah's April 2026 RFP for a five-year statewide sandbag cooperative contract for flood control (due April 30, 2026); and Northside ISD's June 2026 RFP for custodial supplies (due June 4, 2026, replacing an expiring contract). These solicitations emphasize technical specifications, delivery timelines, volume commitments, and price stability over contract terms, with most requiring samples, references, and proof of manufacturing or sourcing capability before award.
