UNSPSC 24112004: Metallic bins

UNSPSC 24112004 Metallic bins is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local activity, encompasses plastic and composite storage bins for general inventory and organizational use rather than metal containers. Gwinnett County Financial Services Purchasing Division's June 2026 informal written quotation for 800 ULINE H-3053BLU Magnum Hopper Bins and 200 ULINE S-12417 Plastic Stackable Bins—both plastic products with integrated label holders—illustrates the practical scope: counties are buying durable, shelf-compatible storage solutions for departmental operations, with vendor selection made on lowest responsive and responsible bid and delivery schedule. State and local issuing bodies under this code span county purchasing offices and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit operating as a service cooperative, released an RFP in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of public entities across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions, though the available documentation does not specify whether storage bins fall within that solicitation's scope or what role they play relative to other law enforcement goods.

Activity under the code appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Gwinnett County's June 2026 procurement required delivery by July 10, 2026 to its Voter Registrations & Elections office in Lawrenceville, Georgia, with vendors paying their own cost for equivalency samples if proposing non-standard products. Sourcewell's May 2026 RFP #061626, closing June 16, 2026, covered law enforcement equipment for participating counties in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and broader public-sector access through its cooperative contracting framework, though the nature and volume of bin-related procurement within that solicitation remain unclear from available materials. Recent activity shows counties and cooperatives buying plastic storage bins with specific dimensional and operational requirements—label holders, shelf compatibility, FOB Destination delivery terms—rather than metallic bins, suggesting a title-taxonomy mismatch worth confirming against current sourcing needs.
