UNSPSC 24111516 Pouch bag (Commodity) covers flexible storage and transport bags that state and local governments procure for operational and instructional supply chains. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions are buying paper bags, trash and recycle bags, and miscellaneous warehouse storage bags—mostly through school districts and cities seeking supplies for custodial operations, facilities management, and waste handling. The work encompasses procurement of preformed bags in specified sizes, colors, and closure types, with vendors responsible for manufacturing, printing, packaging, and delivery to the issuing jurisdiction. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include independent school districts (Northside ISD and Klein ISD in Texas) and cities (Philadelphia and Richardson, Texas), with school districts appearing as repeat buyers seeking custodial and warehouse supplies on replacement cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Philadelphia. The City of Richardson issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB #4426) for an annual requirements contract for recycle and trash bags with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $300,000, due April 28, 2026, with samples required and a pre-bid conference scheduled for April 7, 2026; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies due June 4, 2026 (replacing an expiring contract) and RFP 2026-094 for miscellaneous warehouse supplies due July 9, 2026; and the City of Philadelphia solicited quotes (B2627129) for paper bags in various sizes due May 20, 2026 with a contract value ceiling of $43,000. The Klein ISD procurement (RFP #26-101 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics) posted April 17, 2026, due June 5, 2026, does not appear directly related to the pouch bag commodity scope.
