UNSPSC 24111502: Paper bags

UNSPSC 24111502 Paper bags (Commodity) covers the procurement of plain and specialty paper bags in various sizes and materials—including brown kraft bags, white grocery bags, merchandise bags, and specialty papers such as butcher and freezer paper—that state and local government agencies buy for operational supply, food service, evidence handling, and facility support. The issuing bodies include county sheriffs' departments, city procurement offices, and independent school districts, with the most active recent solicitations coming from large service agencies managing multiple facilities and warehouses. Paper bags represent a routine but essential consumable good for agencies operating food services, intake facilities, evidence rooms, and general warehouse operations.

State and local procurement activity under the code clusters in California and Texas. The County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner's competitive sealed bid for paper bags, plastic bags, rolled paper, and related items (Solicitation 0603042102CC, due May 29, 2026) specifies 16 line items supplying jail commissary, food services, coroner's office, crime lab, and intake/release centers, with a three-year contract term and a requirement for vendors to maintain warehouse facilities within 60 miles of Santa Ana, California, deliver within seven working days, and accommodate one-day emergency delivery at no additional cost; the County applies a five percent OCLSB or DVBE preference and an eight percent combined preference for businesses certified in both. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase quote (B2627129) for paper bags in various sizes (due May 20, 2026) with a contract cap of $43,000 and automatic one-year renewal unless terminated. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas posted two solicitations—one for custodial supplies (RFP2026071, due June 4, 2026, replacing an expiring June 4, 2026 contract) and one for miscellaneous warehouse supplies (RFP2026094, due July 9, 2026)—both requiring inclusion of shipping and handling costs in proposals. Recent activity reflects steady demand from mid-sized and large public-sector operations with ongoing supply needs and contract renewal cycles.
