UNSPSC 24111833: LPG cylinder racks

Gas cylinders both empty and full must be stored vertically and be secured in stands in the upright position and secure with an insulated chain or non-conductive belt to protect cylinders from falling or becoming damaged. This is necessary to prevent them toppling over and getting damaged, leading to potentially harmful gas leaks.

UNSPSC 24111833 LPG cylinder racks (Commodity) encompasses storage tank equipment and associated accessories procured by state and local governments, though recent activity reveals scope divergence: solicitations are primarily for vertical and horizontal polyethylene storage tanks used in water treatment, aquaculture, and transportation applications rather than LPG-specific equipment. The University of Southern Mississippi and University of Mississippi have solicited sealed bids for large-capacity noninsulated and insulated vertical storage tanks (10,000 gallons and unspecified capacities respectively) intended for filtered water storage, recirculation system pretreatment, and disinfection processes, while the State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts solicited polyethylene tanks (500–1,250 gallons), vertical asphalt storage tanks (8,000 gallons in multiple electrical configurations), and frac tank trailers (21,000-gallon capacity) for use by TxDOT and other state customers. Issuing bodies include state agencies and state-affiliated universities; procurement methods have been IFB (sealed bids and invitations for bid), with emphasis on new, unused, current-production equipment meeting NSF/ANSI and FDA standards where applicable and delivered FOB Destination.

Recent activity centers on Mississippi and Texas. The University of Southern Mississippi posted an IFB on September 21, 2026, due October 8, 2026, for ten 10,000-gallon single-wall noninsulated vertical tanks specifying Snyder Industries Model No. 32036 or approved equivalent, with FDA-compliant food-grade HDPE construction and NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certification. The University of Mississippi issued an IFB on July 22, 2026, due August 12, 2026, for double-wall insulated vertical towers with minimal scope detail provided. The State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB No. 304T-26-830A1.1 on March 19, 2026, due April 14, 2026, encompassing polyethylene and vertical asphalt storage tanks plus frac tank trailers for TxDOT and other state customers, with contract awards potentially spanning multiple vendors based on lowest price per tank capacity and terms extending through June 30, 2027 with renewal options through June 30, 2030.
