UNSPSC 24121502: Packaging pouches or bags

UNSPSC 24121502 Packaging pouches or bags (Commodity) covers flexible packaging materials and services that state and local governments procure for repackaging, bundling, and distribution operations—most prominently food and personal care item packaging for correctional commissaries, warehouse supply aggregation, and high-volume mail finishing. The recent solicitation record shows the code in use across school districts, county sheriffs, and municipal utilities, each applying packaging labor and materials to distinct operational needs: Orange County, California's Sheriff-Coroner issues competitive bids for packaging and bundling food and personal care items into welfare kits and commissary stock (shrink wrapping, stapling, banding, barcode labeling); Northside Independent School District solicits miscellaneous warehouse supplies that include flexible packaging inputs; and the City of Madison, Wisconsin's printing and mailing services RFP incorporates mail finishing and envelope storage as components of document processing workflows. The scope spans both material procurement (pouches, bags, shrink film, staples, labels) and service provision (labor-intensive repackaging at vendor facilities or in-house).

Activity concentrates in California and Wisconsin in the most recent posting cycle. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner posted two related IFBs for packaging of food and personal care items for re-sale (solicitations 0603002205MB and 0603002205MB2, both posted April 2, 2026), targeting packaging of approximately twenty line items with pickup and delivery in Anaheim, firm fixed-fee pricing, a three-year initial term, and 5–8 percent local small business or disabled veteran enterprise preference deductions. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued RFP 2026094 for miscellaneous warehouse supplies on June 17, 2026, with bids due July 9, 2026. The City of Madison, Wisconsin released RFP 1500802026 for city-wide printing and mailing services on March 3, 2026, with proposals due April 3, 2026, serving Madison Water Utility (approximately 580,000 pieces printed weekly) and the Finance Department Treasury section (approximately 127,000 pieces monthly for tax bills and notices). The code shows modest but tangible recent activity skewed toward county and municipal operations rather than statewide procurement.
