UNSPSC 24121805: Steel cans

UNSPSC 24121805 Steel cans is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with steel cans — they center instead on paint, painting supplies, painting services, janitorial supplies, automotive paint and coatings, and air compressors. The code shows a significant tagging mismatch with the work actually being solicited, suggesting limited relevant recent activity for steel cans procurement at the state and local level.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities include city procurement offices (Fort Worth, Charlotte, Gainesville, Madison, Orange County), county boards (Hillsborough County), transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System, Gainesville Regional Transit System), a state-level cooperative purchasing vehicle (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), and a service cooperative spanning multiple states (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington-state counties). The geographic spread covers Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, and multi-state cooperative frameworks. Recent solicitations tagged to this code include the City of Charlotte's RFQ for bus paint and related materials (due June 8, 2026), the City of Fort Worth's RFP for paint and paint supplies with a 30% small business participation goal (due August 6, 2026), the District of Columbia Department of Public Works' expedited IFB for paint and painting supplies for graffiti removal (due September 4, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid for paint and painting supplies valued at $10.3 million over two years (due September 29, 2026). Because the opportunities reflect paint, coatings, and painting services rather than steel cans, this code does not currently signal meaningful procurement activity in its stated commodity category.
