UNSPSC 24121807: Plastic cans

UNSPSC 24121807 Plastic cans (Commodity) is drawn most actively in state and local RFPs and catalog-discount bids for paint, painting supplies, and related materials to support facilities maintenance, graffiti removal, transit fleet operations, and janitorial programs. The code name refers to the container product itself, but the actual buying under recent solicitations centers on paint systems, coatings, primers, sealers, specialty finishes, application tools, masking materials, and sundries used across municipal departments, transit authorities, and county fire and emergency-services operations. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (Fort Worth, Charlotte, Gainesville, Orlando), county commissioners (Hillsborough), transit systems (Charlotte Area Transit System, Gainesville Regional Transit System), special-purpose districts (District of Columbia Department of Public Works, Community Development Authority of Madison), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts and municipal entities across Texas).

Recent activity clusters heavily in Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in the District of Columbia and Minnesota-anchored cooperative procurement. Representative recent solicitations include Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog-discount bid for paint and painting supplies (PAINT2628, posted August 24, 2026, due September 29, 2026) estimating $10.293 million over a two-year term to serve 21 predecessor vendors and their constituent school districts; the City of Fort Worth RFP 26-0224 for non-exclusive paint and supplies agreements (posted July 8, 2026, due August 6, 2026) with a 30 percent small-business participation goal and emphasis on interior and exterior latex paints, industrial coatings, and spray equipment; the City of Charlotte's indefinite-quantity bus-paint procurement (solicitation 26920262083, posted May 7, 2026, due June 8, 2026) spanning 112 line items including primers, clearcoats, and PPG Delfleet products for transit fleet refurbishment; and Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00319 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies (posted July 7, 2026, due July 24, 2026) at an estimated value of $765,679.84 for the county's 47 fire stations. Cooperative and volume-discount procurement instruments dominate, with response deadlines typically two to three weeks from posting and strong emphasis on authorized distributor status, delivery speed, and catalog discounts or unit pricing.
