UNSPSC 24111513 Cotton bag is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure recycle and trash bags under this code—polyethylene bags in multiple sizes, colors, and closure options for municipal solid waste and recycling collection programs. Recent solicitations show that governments buy bags to ASTM testing standards for film thickness, dart impact strength, slip coefficient, and drop resistance, often with preferences for post-consumer recycled content and durability beyond minimum specifications. Issuing bodies include city purchasing departments and county governments, with the City of Richardson, Texas appearing as a repeat buyer with multiple annual requirements contracts for recycle and trash bags posted within the past four months.

Activity concentrates in Texas, with the City of Richardson issuing at least two separate ITBs or RFPs for recycle and trash bags in 2026—one posted March 31, 2026 with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $300,000 and a bid deadline of April 28, 2026, and another posted May 21, 2026 with proposals due June 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time and a pre-proposal conference scheduled for May 28, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time via Zoom. The March 2026 procurement specified twelve line items of polyethylene bags in four configurations (blue recycle bags 30"×37" and 27"×52", black trash bags 30"×37", and clear trash bags 44"×47"), each available with wire ties, flaps that tie, or drawstrings, with successful bidders required to maintain a physical business location within a 100-mile radius of ZIP Code 75080. Both Richardson solicitations evaluated proposals on best-value criteria weighting price at 30 percent, qualifications and experience at 30 percent, compliance and added value at 30 percent, and reputation at 10 percent, and both required bidders to demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience supplying bags to similarly sized municipalities and provide three to five references from jurisdictions served within the past three years.
