UNSPSC 24111811: Carboys

UNSPSC 24111811 Carboys, a Commodity code, describes pressurized gas storage and delivery containers, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on CO2 tank rental, refill, and delivery services rather than carboy sales or transfers themselves. State and local governments are sourcing ongoing monthly rental of pressurized CO2 tanks—typically 750-cubic-foot and 125-cubic-foot vessels—along with refill, delivery, and maintenance services to support pool chlorination and aquatic facility operations. The issuing bodies are primarily county-level governments and municipal departments; county recreation and aquatic operations divisions are the repeat buyers in the recent record, supported by facility maintenance and public health divisions.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida and Connecticut. Collier County, Florida has posted two CO2 rental and refill solicitations (QQ2026136 in June 2026 and QQ2026144 in October 2026), both structured as informal Quick Quote competitions with monthly service terms running October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, requiring monthly rental pricing for multiple tank sizes, per-pound delivery and refill rates for estimated annual consumption of 100,000 to 120,000 pounds, and all-inclusive pricing with no surcharges permitted. The City of Meriden, Connecticut issued ITB B027-12 (September 9, 2026 deadline) for removal, decontamination, and disposal of a 3,000–4,000 gallon underground storage tank at a fire station, requiring Connecticut tank-removal certification and a minimum two years of removal experience; this opportunity represents tank decommissioning rather than ongoing rental or refill. Vendors pursuing the Collier County CO2 contracts must maintain statutory Workers' Compensation, $1 million Employer's Liability, $1 million Commercial General Liability with $2 million aggregate, and $1 million Automobile Liability, provide proof of Florida business registration and E-Verify enrollment, and deliver all goods FOB destination with firm pricing through September 30, 2027.
