UNSPSC 24111510: Rope bags and rope packs

UNSPSC 24111510 Rope bags and rope packs is a Commodity code that captures the procurement of bags with rope or rope-related closures and integrated rope features, though state and local governments currently buy a much narrower product range under this classification. Recent solicitations show the code is being applied primarily to duffle bags and soft-sided carrying bags for youth services, recycle and trash bags for municipal operations, and embroidered bags for departmental use. The issuing bodies include state departments (the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services through the Chief Procurement Office for General Services), municipalities (the City of Richardson, Texas), and regional purchasing cooperatives. State Use procurement vehicles—restricted to certified State Use vendors—appear to be a significant vehicle for this work when leveraged by state agencies, while municipalities tend to solicit via RFP or IFB on an annual requirements basis.

The code shows recent activity centered in Texas and Illinois, with broader geographic participation through cooperative purchasing frameworks. The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services awarded a State Use contract in July 2026 to Sparc for duffle bags and assembly services totaling not to exceed $800,000 over five years. The City of Richardson, Texas issued an RFP in May 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for an annual requirements contract covering recycle and trash bags in multiple sizes and colors, with preferred features including post-consumer recycled content of 10–20 percent and ASTM compliance for film thickness, dart impact, slip coefficient, and drop resistance; the contract included options to extend for four additional one-year periods. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted an RFP in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment, though this solicitation appears tangential to rope bags and may reflect coding misalignment in the source data. Activity outside Texas and Illinois is not evident in the recent record.
