UNSPSC 24112007: Material handling racks

UNSPSC 24112007 Material handling racks (Commodity) covers shelving units and specialized storage containers procured by state and local governments for warehouse operations, departmental storage, and hazardous-material containment. Recent solicitations show governments purchasing standard industrial shelving with defined load capacity and construction standards, as well as purpose-built containers — such as 20-foot HAZMAT storage connex boxes with integrated secondary containment, electrical systems, and chemical-resistant interiors. Work ranges from basic multi-unit shelving deployments for general operational storage to engineered hazmat containers meeting OSHA, EPA, and NFPA compliance. Issuing bodies include city procurement departments (Philadelphia, Phoenix), county governments (Gwinnett County, Sarasota County), and their parks, recreation, and natural-resources arms. These are typically low-dollar micro-purchases and formal competitive procurements spanning single-year to multi-year terms.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Florida, Arizona, and Pennsylvania. Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited shelving units (IWQ 135390, IFB due October 2, 2026); Sarasota County, Florida requested a 20-foot hazmat storage container with a $50,000 bid ceiling and September 30, 2026 delivery deadline (RFQ 2026QQ789, due August 7, 2026); the City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase for shelving (B2727501, RFQ due July 24, 2026, capped at $45,000 annually) and general supplies for intake sites (B2627231, RFQ due June 2, 2026, under $40,000); and the City of Phoenix issued a five-year warehouse shelving IFB (IFB260251, extended due date October 18, 2026). Philadelphia solicitations emphasize Local Business Entity certification eligibility and Philadelphia wage compliance. Most contracts require FOB Destination delivery, 60-day quote validity, and standard liability insurance minimums ($500,000 general liability is typical for smaller awards). The code sees active pursuit by mid-size cities and county operations departments focused on replacement and expansion of warehouse and operational storage capacity.
