UNSPSC 24121504: Carded packaging

UNSPSC 24121504 Carded packaging, a Commodity code, covers corrugated and cardboard boxes procured by state and local governments for operational and departmental use. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying corrugated trash boxes, specialty collection boxes, and standard corrugated shipping containers in sizes ranging from small specialty dimensions to full-size waste receptacles. The code captures both single-item specialty packaging and bulk-quantity operational supplies. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city procurement offices and independent school districts, with Philadelphia's procurement bureau appearing as a repeat buyer of carded packaging products across multiple micro purchases in recent months.

Philadelphia is the primary geographic concentration of recent activity under this code, with three documented solicitations between August and September 2026: corrugated trash boxes (solicitation B2728008, IFB, due September 25, 2026, $45,000 ceiling), specialty boxes measuring 17 1/4" × 11 1/4" × 12" (solicitation B2727864, IFB, due September 9, 2026), and special collections packaging (solicitation B2728059, micro purchase, due October 8, 2026). Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas, issued RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies with a June 4, 2026 response deadline, indicating school district activity in this commodity class outside the Philadelphia region. All Philadelphia opportunities award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder as a whole or by line item, with firm pricing requirements, FOB destination delivery, and mandatory electronic submission through PHLContracts platform.
