UNSPSC 24112601: Jugs

UNSPSC 24112601 Jugs is a Commodity code covering drinking water containers and related dispensing equipment that state and local governments procure for operational use across departments and facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing 5-gallon purified water containers, 1-gallon distilled water jugs, water dispenser rentals with maintenance and servicing, plastic cups, and associated delivery services. The code sees activity from city procurement offices, county governments, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing entities. The City of Philadelphia, City of San Antonio, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have posted opportunities under or aligned with this code in the past four months, signaling steady demand across municipal and county operations.

Geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas (San Antonio), Florida (Hillsborough County, Tampa), and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia). The City of San Antonio issued an RFx for annual bottled water services citywide with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for May 21, 2026, and bid due June 3, 2026. The City of Philadelphia posted a micro purchase (ITB B2728164) for metal water jug racks with a due date of October 19, 2026, under a fixed 365-day contract with a $43,000 ceiling.

A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) for law enforcement equipment also appeared in recent notices, though its relationship to jugs proper remains unclear from the available description.
