UNSPSC 24112902: Plastic crate

Container used for transporting fresh food such as fish and other goods.

UNSPSC 24112902 Plastic crate (Commodity) covers durable rigid storage and transport containers—including stackable bins, hopper bins, refuse containers, and recycling carts—that state and local agencies procure for inventory management, waste collection, and operational logistics. Recent solicitations show government buyers acquiring plastic crates ranging from small stackable storage units for voter registration and election offices to large-volume residential refuse and recycling containers for municipal waste programs. Issuing bodies span county purchasing departments, city procurement offices, and state natural resources agencies, with no single repeat buyer dominating the code. The work encompasses both small-order informal quotations for specific bin models and large multi-year framework contracts for container supply, replacement, and related services across hundreds of thousands of units.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia and Arizona. Gwinnett County Financial Services (Georgia) posted an informal written quotation in June 2026 for 800 ULINE H-3053BLU Magnum Hopper Bins (24 x 17 x 11 inches) and 200 ULINE S-12417 Plastic Stackable Bins (11 x 11 x 5 inches) with delivery due July 10, 2026, requiring FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid pricing and lowest-price award. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued RFP 27SW001 in April 2026 seeking 35-, 65-, and 95-gallon high-density polyethylene refuse, recycling, and green organics containers for a three-year initial term commencing July 1, 2026, with approximately 75,000 units of 95-gallon containers, 14,300 units of 65-gallon containers, and 715 units of 35-gallon containers; the procurement emphasized Arizona-based vendor preferences and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation requirements. The City of Tucson issued RFP 226024 (February 2026) for refuse and recycling containers in 48-, 65-, and 95-gallon sizes through the OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing vehicle with estimated annual volume around $50 million. A Williamson County Purchasing Department office relocation notice (July 2026) contains no procurement scope.
