UNSPSC 24111509: Water bags

UNSPSC 24111509 Water bags (Commodity) encompasses water storage and delivery containers, particularly 5-gallon purified water jugs, 1-gallon distilled water containers, and associated water jug racks and dispensing equipment that state and local governments procure for operational support across multiple departments and facilities. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include cities, counties, and county fire rescue departments acquiring consumable water supplies and related infrastructure on an as-needed or annual contract basis. The scope of work ranges from bottled water supply contracts serving citywide municipal operations to janitorial and operational supplies for fire station operations, where water containers and delivery services support 24/7 facility needs.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, and multi-state cooperative purchasing frameworks. The City of San Antonio issued RFx 6100019423 for an annual contract providing 5-gallon purified water containers, 1-gallon distilled water, plastic cups, water dispenser rentals with maintenance, and delivery services citywide, with a pre-submittal conference held May 21, 2026, and bid due June 3, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited ITB 26-00319 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies (estimated value $765,679.84) for Fire Rescue Department operations across 47 fire stations, with bids due July 24, 2026. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase RFQ for metal water jug racks (total quote ceiling $43,000) with response due October 19, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026, deadline, offering a multi-jurisdictional contracting solution across participating Washington and other states—though this opportunity appears tangential to core water bag procurement and may represent a data classification mismatch.
