UNSPSC 24112007: Material handling racks

UNSPSC 24112007 Material handling racks (Commodity) covers the purchase of warehouse and facility shelving systems that state and local governments use for storage and inventory management. Recent solicitations show procurement of metal shelving units with varying specifications — modular open-style designs with multiple shelf levels, anchored footplates, and load capacities typically ranging from 625 pounds per level. The code also captures industrial storage equipment and related installation services. State and local jurisdictions issuing under this code span city procurement departments, county governments, and higher-education institutions, with cities of Philadelphia and Phoenix and Chatham County, Georgia appearing as active recent buyers.

Shelving procurement activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Philadelphia has posted multiple micro purchases for shelving and general supplies through PHLContracts (Solicitation B2727501 due July 24, 2026 for shelving; Solicitation B2627231 due June 2, 2026 for general supplies including materials for intake sites); Phoenix issued an IFB for warehouse shelving on a five-year contract effective August 1, 2026 (IFB260251, due June 1, 2026); and Chatham County, Georgia posted a competitive sealed bid for 71 metal shelving units for the Clerk of Superior Court with a 30% combined M/WBE participation goal (Solicitation 2600393, due April 2, 2026). Contract values range from under $45,000 for Philadelphia micro purchases to larger warehouse installations. Most solicitations require F.O.B. Destination delivery, 60-day price validity, standard insurance coverage (General Liability and Workers' Compensation), and compliance with local tax and nondiscrimination requirements. Some opportunities, including the Chatham County procurement, include set-aside or participation goals for minority and women-owned business enterprises.
