UNSPSC 24111501: Canvas bags

UNSPSC 24111501 Canvas bags (Commodity) covers polyethylene trash and recycling bags in various sizes, colors, and closure options—the most active recent procurement under this code reflects municipalities buying standardized bag supplies for waste management operations rather than specialty canvas items. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include cities and counties in Texas and the broader Southwest, with repeat activity from the City of Richardson. Work being solicited centers on annual requirements contracts for large-volume polyethylene bag supply with technical specifications around film thickness, impact strength, and closure mechanisms, typically structured as single-vendor awards with multiple one-year renewal options.

The City of Richardson issued two separate solicitations for recycle and trash bags in the first half of 2026: an ITB (Invitation to Bid) posted March 31 with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $300,000 and a response deadline of April 28, 2026, and an RFP posted May 21 with proposals due June 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, both calling for blue recycling bags, black trash bags, and clear trash bags in specified dimensions with wire-tie, flap, or drawstring closures meeting ASTM testing standards. The State of Utah Division of Purchasing also issued a relevant RFP for sandbags (RM26-8, posted April 9, due April 30) establishing a five-year statewide cooperative contract, though sandbags diverge materially from the canvas-bag code scope. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Utah; the Williamson County Purchasing Department notice from July 2026 contains no procurement content. A County of Orange, California solicitation (posted March 13) for repair and replacement of marine canvas articles represents canvas-related work but falls outside routine municipal bag procurement and does not reflect typical activity under this code.
