UNSPSC 24112800: Freight containers

Specially designed receptacles that fit in the cargo compartments of wide-bodied ships, aircrafts, trucks or trains.

UNSPSC 24112800 Freight containers, Class, covers the purchase and rental of storage and shipping containers in various configurations—20-foot, 40-foot, and high-cube units—for operational, storage, and specialized applications across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments use this code to procure new and used containers for roadway operations, parks maintenance, fleet storage, disaster recovery, and departmental office space, with vendors supplying standard configurations, specialized modifications (ventilation, insulation, climate control, integrated restrooms), and delivery services.

Activity under the code concentrates among Florida state transportation and county governments, Texas state agencies and local transit authorities, Pennsylvania cities, and California counties, with recent solicitations posted by the Florida Department of Transportation, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Transportation, City of Philadelphia, Hillsborough County (Florida), City of Tampa, San Mateo County Parks Department, City of Fort Worth, and City of Dallas. The City of Philadelphia has issued multiple micro-purchase RFQs for 40-foot containers and 20-foot rental units with $45,000 ceilings and response dates in June and July 2026; Hillsborough County issued ITB-26-00247 on April 22, 2026 (due May 15, 2026) for a two-year supply contract with an estimated value of $146,685.00 for mixed-size Conex containers and office containers with air conditioning; the Florida Department of Transportation issued ITB DOT-ITB-26-9080-JM (due May 19, 2026) for three marine-grade 20-foot containers for roadway use; the State of Texas Comptroller issued IFB 304T-26-100A1 (due July 23, 2026) for new and used containers in 10-, 20-, and 40-foot configurations statewide with optional modifications; San Mateo County Parks Department issued RFP 2026-RFP-Informal-00582 (due July 2, 2026) for three 20-foot containers with local business preference (5% for local, 3% for small, 5% for micro); and the City of Fort Worth issued RFQt 260174 (due April 20, 2026) for a 40-foot container office with integrated restroom for the Water Department. Geographic activity centers on Florida (state DOT, Hillsborough County, City of Tampa), Texas (state comptroller, DOT, TDCJ, cities), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), and California (San Mateo County). Multiple jurisdictions weight evaluation on vendor qualifications and past performance, require proof of insurance (workers' compensation, general liability, automobile liability), and mandate E-Verify compliance and compliance with state debarment/suspension lists.
