UNSPSC 24112004: Metallic bins

UNSPSC 24112004 Metallic bins is a Commodity code that covers storage containers and material-handling bins in various materials; state and local solicitations filed under this code are actually buying plastic storage bins, metal shelving units, steel pallets, and office furniture—a divergence that signals occasional misclassification rather than consistent purchasing activity. The issuing bodies posting under the code span county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Chatham County, and Hillsborough County in Georgia and Florida), a transit authority (Orange County Transportation Authority in California), and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit brokering deals across multiple states and entity types). The scope of work ranges from small quotations for plastic inventory bins with integrated label holders to large regional cooperative purchasing agreements for office furniture, metal shelving for court facilities, and heavy-duty steel pallets for emergency and maintenance operations.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Florida, with additional visibility through multi-state cooperative contracts. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Financial Services' June 2026 informal written quotation for 800 plastic hopper bins and 200 stackable bins (response deadline June 9, 2026); Chatham County's March 2026 competitive sealed bid for 71 metal shelving units for court capacity expansion (due April 2, 2026); Hillsborough County's March 2026 invitation to bid for galvanized steel pallets at $70,264.60 estimated value over two years (due April 3, 2026); and Orange County Transportation Authority's request for quotations for heavy-duty steel shelving at $9,467.00 (due January 12, 2026). Sourcewell issued a multi-jurisdictional RFP for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline that includes storage and containment solutions available to participating public entities across the United States and Canada. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in Southeast jurisdictions and regional cooperative agreements, with no indication of sustained high-volume procurement patterns.
