UNSPSC 24112200: Cans and pails

UNSPSC 24112200 Cans and pails is a Class code covering metal containers and receptacles procured by state and local governments for waste management, utility operations, and public services. The code encompasses roll-off containers, dumpsters, and similar steel vessels specified to exacting construction standards — high carbon steel construction, welded seams, gauge-specific flooring and sidewalls, specialized coatings and finishes, and compatibility with mechanical handling equipment. State and local governments use this code to solicit competitive bids for containers that support solid waste operations, public works facilities, and municipal service delivery. Issuing bodies include city solid waste departments and public works divisions procuring equipment to maintain service continuity and replace aging fleet assets.

The City of Leesburg, Florida represents recent activity under this code. In September 2026, Leesburg issued IFB 26007HG to procure 32 open top roll-off metal containers in four sizes (10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards, 8 units per size) for its Solid Waste Department, with a due date of January 22, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. The specification requirements included high carbon H/R steel with continuous welding, 10-gauge sides, 7-gauge flooring, reinforced rear doors, TECTYL 300 resin undercoat, and two coats of Royal BFI Blue industrial enamel. Bidders faced a three-year business operation requirement, E-Verify registration, and minimum $1,000,000 combined single-limit commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance. The contract was structured as a one-year term with four optional one-year renewals, Net 30 payment terms, and award tentatively scheduled for January 30, 2026. No set-aside or disadvantaged-enterprise designations applied.
