UNSPSC 24121509: Packaging trays

UNSPSC 24121509 Packaging trays (Commodity) covers corrugated and rigid boxes, shipping containers, and specialty packaging products that state and local governments procure for departmental operations, custodial support, records management, and general logistics. Recent solicitations show Philadelphia and school districts sourcing corrugated trash boxes, specialty-sized shipping boxes, and mixed packaging supplies as low-value micro purchases and bid requests, typically under $45,000 per contract, with firm fixed pricing and delivery on FOB Destination basis. Issuing bodies include municipal procurement offices and independent school districts; Philadelphia's Department of General Services (via PHLContracts) is a repeat buyer in this commodity, with three separate micro purchases posted between August and September 2026.

Philadelphia dominates recent activity in this code, with three consecutive opportunities posted in August and September 2026 — a 17¼" × 11¼" × 12" box IFB (B2727864, due September 9, 2026), corrugated trash boxes (B2728008, due September 25, 2026), and a Special Collections micro purchase (B2728059, due October 8, 2026) — all awarded as whole or by line item to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued an RFP for custodial supplies (RFP 2026-071) with a June 4, 2026 deadline, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all vendors to respond to maintain continuity. Philadelphia's micro purchases require signed Consent and Authorization Agreements via PHLContracts, firm pricing for hold periods, General Liability insurance at $500,000 per occurrence, Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, and Automobile Liability at $300,000 per occurrence. The City imposes Philadelphia business tax identification, business income and receipts tax, net profits tax, and city wage tax compliance.
