UNSPSC 24112503: Die cut corrugated shipping cartons with separate lids

UNSPSC 24112503 Die cut corrugated shipping cartons with separate lids (Commodity) covers corrugated boxes and cartons that state and local governments procure for internal operations, waste management, and storage. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring corrugated shipping and trash boxes in standard dimensions, typically through micro purchases under $45,000 with fixed pricing and delivery to a single destination. The City of Philadelphia has posted multiple opportunities for corrugated boxes of varying dimensions, while school districts source corrugated cartons as part of broader custodial supply procurements. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal procurement offices and independent school districts, typically awarding on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder basis with the option to split awards by line item. Vendors must quote all line items to be eligible, submit electronic bids through eProcurement platforms, maintain firm pricing for the contract hold period, and carry standard liability and workers' compensation insurance.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas and Pennsylvania. The City of Philadelphia issued at least three separate micro purchases for corrugated boxes between August and September 2026 (B2727864 for boxes measuring 17 1/4" × 11 1/4" × 12", due September 9, 2026, and B2728008 for corrugated trash boxes, due September 25, 2026, both as IFBs); a fourth posting on September 25, 2026 (B2728059) for Special Collections materials was due October 8, 2026.
